A work of theological biography and spiritual analysis, God and Myself: The Spirituality of John Henry Newman presents an intimate examination of one of the nineteenth century's most towering religious intellects, tracing the inner life and devotional thought of the man who journeyed from Anglicanism to become a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. Hilda Graef, a respected scholar of Christian mysticism and spirituality, argues that Newman's faith was never merely doctrinal but was instead a profoundly personal and searching relationship with God, shaped by conscience, prayer, and intellectual honesty. Drawing on Newman's sermons, letters, and autobiographical writings, the study illustrates how his spiritual development unfolded across decades of doubt, conversion, and deepening contemplation. Written with scholarly rigor yet an accessible warmth, the text illuminates Newman's enduring relevance as a guide for modern believers navigating the tensions between reason and faith. This is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the soul behind one of Christianity's most celebrated modern saints.
