I have a M.A. in Christian Spirituality and have read a ton of books on the spiritual life, but I would have to say that The Gift of Faith<\/span><\/a><\/span> by Father Tadeusz Dajczer is in a class all by itself.<\/p>\n

I only came to know of this book a week ago, when I met the founders of In the Arms of Mary Foundation<\/span><\/a> when I was attending the Catholic Marketing Network <\/span><\/a>trade show in Birmingham, AL. Lisa Hendey has interviewed <\/span><\/a>the organization for more about them.<\/p>\n

Now, what I came to know about the organization is that they read The Gift of Faith<\/span><\/a><\/span> by Father Tadeusz Dajczer and it changed their life. As a result they began translating his book and those by a disciple of Father Dajczer’s S.C. Biela (See God Alone Suffices<\/span><\/a><\/span> as an example).<\/p>\n
