We are all called to be saints. Sanctity is necessary for all of us because in heaven there will only be saints. The problem is: How do we become saints? Many books and treatises have been written on how to make progress in the spiritual life by such stalwarts in the field as St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila to mention only two. Generally these works are as long and difficult as they are deep and thorough. Frequently they tend to be somewhat obscure and require equally lengthy explanations. In the present world very few people have the time and the endurance to read voluminous masterpieces of spiritual literature. This shorter volume attempts to give the substance and precision of these longer works in a less intimidating way for those who want depth and direction in their spiritual lives.
 
Chris John Terry is a Thomistic philosopher whose book, For the Love of Wisdom: An Explanation of the Meaning and Purpose of Philosophy (Alba House, 1994) was highly praised as a simple, down- to-earth, and very readable introduction to the study of philosophy. This is his second book for Alba House.
