Newman at Littlemore (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780852449424)

Fr Bernard Basset SJ describes, in a fascinating manner, how John Henry Newman entered into the life of a neglected and poor hamlet three miles from Oxford, how he changed the place for the better and how he himself changed from being a well-known Anglican clergyman into a convert to the Roman Catholic Church. Every reader will be captivated by Fr Basset's accessible style and the width of his knowledge of Newman's life revealed in these pages. This book, now republished and updated by The Spiritual Family The Work, with a foreword by Bishop Robert Byrne CO, will be a delight for all who want to know more about John Henry Newman's life and are, in Fr Basset's words, 'drawn by the genius and holiness of the first Vicar of Littlemore, one of the greatest churchmen of all times'.
