The Parish Priest And The Life Of Prayer by Evelyn Underhill - 1937

This cloth back book is in good condition. The cover has some wear as well as the edges and the corners are bumped. There are stains on the front and back of the cover. The first 20 pages of the cloth book are dog eared. There is an inscription from The Bishop of Montana to the original owner on the inside of the front cover. The pages are yellowed and tanned but clear from all markings. We are also including a letter written to the original owner from the Bishop of Montana about the book.

"It seems presumptuous for any one, and especially a member of the laity, to attempt to add to that which has already been said and written upon the spiritual life of the Christian priest. Only the overwhelming importance of the subject for the work of the Church, and the fact that in the pressure of outward life we need again and again to be reminded of those unchangeable realities of the inward life which alone give any value to our active work can justify this. But these certain truths are surely sufficient reason for considering once again the special nature of the priest's life of prayer; what it means, what it is for, and why it matters so much...." - from The Parish Priest And The Life Of Prayer
