This book consists of 59 short essays that will assist the principled Catholic as she or he struggles in the whirlwind of the modern world. Written in 1954 or 1955, this observations and sententiae remain sharply relevant, even after nearly half a century.

Archbishop Sheen does not preach a gospel of evasion from moral absolutes, but neither is he a humourless rigorist. During his lifetime, through a ministry in the media of both print and television, he reached more souls than Cardinal Newman did. In "Way to Inner Peace," the believing Christian will find not only a challenge but perhaps a restoration to sanity and sanctity (arguably, the same thing).

This book is packed with valuable insight for those who are not afraid of looking into the mirror for a change. The book offers short chapters filled with wisdom on the ways of man. The language is simple enough for anyone to grasp, yet so lofty that the reader has no choice but to long for heaven on Earth and the peace that comes with it. I highly recomend this book to anyone looking solid spiritual reading which will lead to growth as a human being and as a child of God.

Bishop Sheen's books are like a fountain of wisdom. He is easy to read.
