Title: Great book which deserves a better title
Review: I first encountered the amazing Von Hugel when I came across his letters of spiritual direction to the Anglican author Evelyn Underhill. It struck me as I read them that everyone who is deeply serious about the spiritual life needs a Baron Von Hugel! I thought it would be difficult to find out more about him, but this fantastic book (really a complete life-and-work study) fits the bill. It covers Von Hugel's biography and how his life as a lay scholar, a husband, and a father affected his Catholic theology. It covers his famous three elements of religion: "the authoritative, historical, institutional; the critical, speculative, philosophical; the intuitive, vocational, mystical" and how every mature spiritual life requires all three elements. This book definitely proves how his spirituality and leadership remain highly relevant for us today.
