An artfully constructed, gracefully written account of the author's calling to a deeper experience of holiness, "By Way of Grace" encourages Christians to soar to new heights in their faith.
For anyone who feels like they've hit the ceiling in their life of faith, this book reveals how to break through and rise to new and unimagined spiritual heights.
One morning, in a hermitage nestled in California's lovely Big Sur country, Paula Huston read a Scripture verse that she had read hundreds of times before: "Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink." This time the verse penetrated her heart as never before. Much had happened to her in the preceding years: a return to Christianity, conversion to Catholicism, a choice for a radically simplified life, an increasing hunger for prayer and the Eucharist. Now, Huston understood that all of that was just the beginning. God was calling her to a deeper experience of holiness, which would require of her arduous work that led to the simplest surrender.
By Way of Grace is her artfully constructed, gracefully written account of what she learned. The book contends that the spiritual life firmly rests on saints and virtues, and each chapter focuses on how a great saint of the mystical Catholic tradition explains and exemplifies one of the traditional Christan virtues. Intertwined with this material is Huston's personal story of her struggles to respond to Jesus' invitation to "come to me and drink." By Way of Grace discloses the essential simplicity of holiness and encourages people of faith to soar to new heights on the wings of God's amazin love.
