The author has taken Old Testament stories as the subject of eighteen meditations to be used in a retreat for priests. And in most cases he has chosen an incident in the New Testament and placed it side by side with the other. "Between the two," he writes, "we ought by God's help to be able to see what warning it was, or what encouragement, that the Holy Ghost meant us to draw, when he inspired the sacred authors to write as they did." What emerges is a brilliantly original book of meditations, ideally suitable for priests but extraordinarily fruitful for the lay reader. His subjects range from the Creation to Our Lady, and each Old Testament incident is skillfully resolved into some spiritual situation of which the touchstone is grace.
