In this collection of  24 meditations, preached at retreats in Britain during the mid-20th century, Msgr. Ronald Knox addresses the foundations of our spiritual life, the life of Our Lord, and the practical problems of living our faith in the world.  Each meditation is suitable for daily prayer; the collection is an excellent preparation for or companion on retreat.  A Retreat for Lay People is solid spiritual food, served up with refreshing simplicity and a dash of wit.
