Newman the Priest, A Father of Souls, by Gerard Skinner

Newman the Priest: A Father of Souls. Presenting aspects of the life of Cardinal Newman and letting him speak to us in his own words, Fr Skinner draws from the tens of thousands of pages that this great pastor penned and presents Newman as a priest, ‘A Father of Souls’.  In a series of easily readable sketches we follow Newman’s life from the time when he first realised that God was calling him to the ordained ministry until his last years as a priest and Cardinal in the Birmingham Oratory that he had himself founded.
