The Way of Interior Peace

This book was written in 1880s and by the grace of God, it has been translated into English. For me, its timing could not have been better. As one who is trying to live the Faith while the world self-implodes it has been remarkably difficult to find peace of mind.

The beauty of this book is that by correctly understanding God, we can achieve this peace of mind. Dozens of times throughout this book, I chuckled, and said the words, “That’s me!” That alone brought the reassurance that my struggles with the Faith were not mine alone, but many Catholics throughout the ages.

Though written well over a century ago, Fr De Lehen understood the tangle web we weave when practicing our faith with false understandings and rigorous self-imposed rules which are bound to frustrate us and bring anything but peace in our souls. In addition to pointing out the misconceptions that mire us, he also provides the antidote to remedy these faults.

So…

If you have turned the confessional into the harsh judgement seat of God, read this book.

If your examination of conscience has become a 3rd degree interrogation, read this book.

If you avoid communion because you don’t think you are on par with the Saints, read this book.

If your prayers have become a rigorous duty rather than a joyful opportunity to talk with God, read this book.

If you want to excel in other areas of the Christian life like humility, spiritual combat, prayer, meditation and like, read this book. All of this requires inner peace.

This book really hits me, I now know the Christian way is hard. But easy

It is OFTEN difficult to "find peace" in today's world. This book will help you DO IT.
