Spiritual Letters - Paperback

by John Chapman (Author)

Abbott Chapman's Spiritual Letters, collected and edited posthumously by Dom Roger Hudleston, have been read and found of profound help by countless thousands since they were first published almost half a century ago.

This book includes a range of Abbot Chapman's letters both to lay people, including two married ladies and the editor of The Dublin Review, and to religious such as a Benedictine monk, a Servite nun and a Jesuit Scholastic.

In his new introduction, Sebastian Moore OSB says 'As a guide to praying, the Letters are superb. As a guide to living, too, Chapman is decades ahead of his time.'
