Fr Bernard Basset SJ describes, in a fascinating manner, how John Henry Newman entered into the life of a neglected and poor hamlet three miles from Oxford, how he changed the place for the better and how he himself changed from being a well-known Anglican clergyman into a convert to the Roman Catholic Church. Every reader will be captivated by Fr Basset's accessible style and the width of his knowledge of Newman's life revealed in these pages. This book, now republished and updated by The Spiritual Family The Work, with a foreword by Bishop Robert Byrne CO, will be a delight for all who want to know more about John Henry Newman's life and are, in Fr Basset's words, 'drawn by the genius and holiness of the first Vicar of Littlemore, one of the greatest churchmen of all times'.

Basset Sj, Bernard: - Bernard Basset was born in London in 1909. He was educated at Hodder and Stonyhurst and entered the noviciate in 1927. He spent some years as a teacher and in parishes at Bournemouth and the Scilly Isles (where he became friends with Harold and Mary Wilson). He was described as "one of the great priests in England and Wales in the 50s. He certainly put the laity on the map. Many of his actions were in advance of the Decree of the Apostolate of the Laity of the Second Vatican Council". He was very popular as a retreat director and preacher. He was well known for producing successful pantomimes in many of his educational postings. He wrote at least 10 books of popular spirituality, and a comprehensive history of the early British Jesuits. He suffered a heart attack in 1984 and died in Oxford in 1988.
