St John Henry Newman: A Doctor of the Church for Our Time - Spiritual Guide for the Catholic Heart

Sister Mary Catherine Blanding’s St. John Henry Newman: A Doctor of the Church for Our Time presents a compelling and deeply pastoral introduction to one of the most influential Catholic thinkers of the modern era. Drawing from Newman’s sermons, spiritual writings, and personal journey of conversion, Blanding reveals why Newman continues to speak powerfully to contemporary believers confronting doubt, secularism, loneliness, and the search for holiness. Both intellectually rich and spiritually accessible, the work serves as a guide to prayer, conscience, divine providence, and authentic Christian transformation. “Sr. Mary Catherine has a rare gift for translating Newman into American. She makes him accessible, understandable, and even lovable to my countrymen…” Mike Aquilina, author, The Fathers of the Church; co-founder, St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology
