Description

John Henry Newman was a remarkable figure in English church history, venerated throughout the world for his exemplary holiness and enduring legacy. This highly readable account of his life brings us close to the story of this remarkable man, revealing the timeless truths he shared about the Christian Faith.

Newman's gifts as a writer, thinker, preacher, and poet were renowned in his own lifetime, and today he is seen as a prophet and a saint. His clarity of vision on fundamental Christian principles has inspired generations, and Joyce Sugg's biography offers a fresh and immediate perspective on this remarkable life.

As a convert to the Catholic Church from Anglicanism, Joyce Sugg brings her own understanding of Newman's story to the page, drawing on her experience living in Oxford and Birmingham. This is a compelling and accessible account that sheds new light on one of England's most revered figures.
