Product Overview
Recognized as a modern spiritual classic and perhaps
Dietrich von Hildebrand's greatest work, this sublime and
practical study gives a penetrating analysis of the true
path to holiness for those who love Christ. The first
requisite is the person's desire for change, and with that
fundamental attitude in mind, von Hildebrand devotes a
chapter to each of the successive spiritual attitudes
necessary for those who strive for Christian perfection.
The Beatitudes are treated with beauty and depth in an
uncompromising challenge to every serious Christian to put
into practice these teachings of Christ.

treatise by a distinguished philosopher on the pursuit of
spiritual perfection."
