Helmsman of Sheed \u0026amp; Ward, “the most influential Catholic publishers in the English-speaking world,” Sheed was friend or publisher (or often both) to G. K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc, Sigrid Undset and Gertrud von Le Fort, Ronald Knox, Evelyn Waugh, and Christopher Dawson, and many others. Having this singular grace of familiarity with Catholic letters, Sheed first compiled \u003ci\u003eThe Mary Book\u003c\/i\u003e (1950), curating pertinent selections from Sheed \u0026amp; Ward titles. The guiding question being: “Each of [our] books told some part of what is to be known about Our Lady extraordinarily well; if no one of them covered everything, among them they covered a great deal. How much did they cover?” The \u003ci\u003eMary Book\u003c\/i\u003e was the answer to that question; \u003ci\u003eThe Book of the Saviour\u003c\/i\u003e (1952) the answer to the same about Jesus Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnd, in the fulness of time, God sent his son, made of a woman, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ethat we might receive the adoption of sons. \u003c\/i\u003e(Galatians 4:4–5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis volume presents the first part of \u003ci\u003eThe Book of the Saviour\u003c\/i\u003e: “The Hidden Years.” With prose and poetry selections by Chesterton and Maisie Ward, Undset and Robert Southwell, and Caryll Houselander and C.
