Laforet lays out the spiritual causes of unbelief, and shows the antidotes necessary to remedy each.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoting that unbelief is not a particularly modern phenomenon (after all, many people refused to believe in Jesus even after having witnessed his miracles), Fr. Laforet explains that unbelief is not merely a matter of the intellect; on the contrary, where unbelief prevails we almost always find its source in a person’s will.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the fruits of his spiritual and psychological analysis, Fr. LaForet then crafts a simple but powerful remedy — one that is sure to bring to Christ any reasonable person who honestly employs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo wonder the great Cardinal James Gibbons treasured this book, writing: “I consider its value beyond price, and highly recommend it to all, especially in these days of doubt and denial.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong the things you will learn here are:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe spiritual roots of unbelief, and the main form it takes today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you can’t make yourself believe, why does the Church consider unbelief a vice?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Christianity could conquer the brutal Roman Empire, but suffer even more defeats in our day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaith and reason: learn how Christian faith purifies reason, strengthens it, extends it, and even elevates it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue faith: why it isn’t blind — and can never be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe one thing that always opens the gates of faith — even to those who live in darkness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover the two forms of materialism — practical and dogmatic— and how each corrodes faith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This book will be a powerful aid to souls, helping them reject error and gain free access to truth.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlessed Pope Pius IX\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sophia Inst.
