by Daniel Considine, S.J.Selected words of encouragement from the writings of Father Considine (1849-1928), a British Jesuit who wrote occasional essays on the practice of Christian life. If he had a platitude to repeat, he did not attempt to disguise it in fine language. In simple, direct language, he aimed to supply the practical needs of the honest but puzzled individual. Dorothy Day mentioned Fr. Considine in the same breath with St. Teresa, St. Francis De Sales and Fr. De Caussade as great spiritual writers who were of help to her. Over the years, this pocket sized gem has been phenomenally popular.Dorothy Day on this little book: "Father Considine tells us to have more faith in God as a kind Father who is so far above our earthly fathers that he will forgive us all our sins --- even the greatest; who will not give us a stone when we ask for bread." (from "Letter to an Agnostic," published in America magazine 08/04/1934 and re-published in America's 90th anniversary edition 04/17/99.)The Passionists 1999; paper (3"x 5"), 94 pp
