Will you dare to journey on a path filled with twists and turns? We are pilgrims on a spiritual journey--a journey filled with surprises, uncertainty, and even failure. Indeed, it is rare that the path of spiritual growth takes us on a straight unwavering course. "Seldom," writes Charles Ringma, "do we move smoothly from darkness to enlightenment and live happily ever after in the latter state." Inspred by the words of Henri Nouwen, the great writer on Christian spirituality, Charles Ringma's collection of 180 reflections leads the way to a place of intimacy with the God who loves and sustains. Here you will find the courage to continue your journey and the strength to serve our world.

The Church's teaching on Hell has been generally neglected by theologians, with the notable exception of Fr. von Balthasar. However, what he has said has stirred controversy both in Europe and in the United States. Here he responds in a clear and concise way, grounding his reflections clearly in Scripture. Revelation gives us neither the assurance that all will be saved, nor the certitude that any are condemned. What it does require of us is the "hope that all men be saved" rooted in a love of Christ that reaches even into the depths of Hell.
