Product Overview
Essays written by Fr. George Rutler, an author widely recognized as one of the finest masters of English prose in the Catholic Church today. These essays include a variety of interesting subjects and touch upon philosophy, theology, history, biography, art, travel, politics, and more as he shows Christ making himself known to us in the events of daily life.
