What I Believe
SKU: 978-1950970933
Product Details
By François Mauriac
What I Believe is a fervent act of self-examination. One of the twentieth century’s pre-eminent literary figures. François Mauriac conducts a spiritual survey that is at once both deeply personal and inescapably universal. Perhaps more so than any of Mauriac’s other works, What I Believe offers common ground for Christians and nonbelievers alike, as his revelation of belief and doubt stands as an invitation to approach the Christian mystery with an open mind. Of particular interest, from a literary standpoint, is the chapter on “the demands of purity,” which sheds light on much of its author’s acclaimed and complicated fiction.
First published in English in 1963, What I Believe is an engrossing introspection that, in the words of Wallace Fowlie’s Introduction, “does honor first to Mauriac himself, in the vibrant insistency with which he speaks, and it does honor also to those for whom the book was written.”
What I believe is not necessarily what brings me consolation. What I believe, and what I know, arise from an incomprehensible mystery. We share in the same Christ, in the same breaking of Living Bread. (François Mauriac)
François Mauriac (1885–1970) was a French Catholic novelist, poet, critic, and journalist. Critically acclaimed and respected, Mauriac received the Grand Prix du roman de l’Académie française for his novel The Desert of Love; was awarded the Grand Cross of the Légion d’honneur; and was named laureate of the 1952 Nobel Prize in Literature.

We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
