John Henry Newman was the greatest of all the English churchmen of the last two hundred years.  Venerated throughout the world, Newman's many gifts, and his life of exemplary holiness, continue
to fascinate. Famous in his own lifetime as a writer, thinker, preacher and poet, he is seen today as a prophet and a saint. Few have achieved his clarity of vision over the fundamentals of the Christian
Faith, or have been able to express these timeless truths so clearly, to share them so lucidly and to continue to inspire succeeding generations.

Here is a highly readable account of his life, written with a freshness and immediacy that brings us close to the story of this remarkable man - a very English saint. Joyce Sugg, the author, like Newman, is a convert to the Catholic Church from Anglicanism and has spent most of her life either in Oxford or in Birmingham (UK).
