Through the Eyes of Faith
In this collection of essays, Father Powell expresses his conviction that we cannot be holy without being humanly whole, and we cannot be whole without striving for holiness. This theme threads through the pages. The essays cover such topics as faith, virtue, the Beatitudes, the Church, memories, attitudes, habits, and worry.
