Devotions And Intercessions For All Affected By War
Item Number: 2600
Days before his death at 43, the famed British convert completed work on his last book. It is not a novel, but a prayer book for those suffering anxiety due to the death or wounding of a loved one in war. McCaffrey Publishing has brought it back into print for the new century, which promises, alas, to be at least as tragic as the 20th.
