Guarding the Soul Against Sin by Rev. John J. Williams, S.J.

Impr, 1923. 169 page book.

“Oh, the value of a human soul!” The purpose of this book is to contribute in some degree to the success of the Spiritual Exercises, in their God-given work of teaching men the value of a human soul. By presenting anecdotes and passages of Holy Scripture in keeping with the Exercise under consideration, new food for reflection will be presented, without diverting the mind from the actual stage of the retreat. While this treatise might serve as a handbook for a private retreat, its primary object is to provide matter for reading at meals, when the Exercises are given to a number of exercitants.
