Growth in Holiness: Or, The Progress of the Spiritual Life

More about the book

This volume addresses the complexities of spiritual life, acknowledging the likelihood of contradictions given its broad scope. Each statement reflects a judgment on topics where many pious Catholics hold established views. However, the author hopes for a generous reception, emphasizing that the text contains no intentional criticism of individuals or ideas. The aim is to harmonize ancient and modern Church spirituality, leaning towards the former, and to present it to English Catholics in a relatable manner—translating it into familiar thoughts, feelings, and language. The publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reviving rare and classic texts, utilizing advanced technology to digitally restore works while maintaining their original format. Although some imperfections from the original may appear in this edition, most are effectively repaired, with any remaining flaws preserved to honor the historical integrity of the work.
