Illustrated with a luminous frontispiece portrait of the Pope at prayer and three additional photographs. With the bookplate of noted American psychologists, Vivian and Henry Guze (along with Henry's signature).

War and Peace, Part Three. The Church and Science, Part Four. Letters for Laymen, Part Five The Road to Christ. Approbations.
