Description

Bishop Sheen asks readers to stop blaming their subconscious for their ills and examine instead their conscience, to turn away from the psychoanalyst and turn to God. He shows readers that peace of soul cannot come from humankind, but must come through Divine help.

He writes: Unless souls are saved, nothing is saved, there can be no world peace unless there is soul peace. Man has deduced the power and wisdom of the God Who created and sustained the world. Modern man is impressed less with order of nature than he is with disorder of his own mind, which has become his man preoccupation: the atomic bomb has destroyed his awe of nature.
About the need for conversion. Topics covered include anxiety, morbidity, guilt, conscience, sex, remorse, and fear of death.
