This book not only recalls what faith offers to men and women of every age and place, but states also what we must do to obtain it and how we must act in order to live it. An accomplished preacher and professor, Hughes marries the fervor of the former with the sagacity of the latter in showing how each truth of the Christian faith has a role to play in the eminently practical matter of uniting us to our Creator.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e* * *\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip Hughes\u003c\/b\u003e (1895–1967) was a Roman Catholic priest, ecclesiastical historian, and prolific author.
