About the book
Were St. Francis of Assisi to be asked the way to inner peace, he -- like Archbishop Sheen -- would have undoubtedly pointed to the way of the cross. Humility, love, and service would have been the virtues recommended to pave the way and make the going easier. Sorrow for sins, patience with others, and a healthy sense of humor would be considered almost equally important. In this classic -- written some 50 years ago -- we find many nearly forgotten age-old truths surprisingly and specifically apropos to the needs of our own times. Rich in psychology and richer yet in New Testament spirituality, these pages will provide an invaluable guide to all those who, for whatever reason, are seeking the way to inner peace.
