Famine of the Spirit is not a treatise; its purpose is to foster a love of God rather than to give instruction regarding it. The intensity with which books dealing with the problems of spirituality and the interior life are so often written, often tends to put off all but the most determined reader. Dom Hubbert van Zeller, in this little book, will do a great deal to reassure and restore confidence in a way of life which trusts in the grace of God.
