Here is new insight into man's guilt and God's grace, offered by a distinguished physician. Dr. Paul Tournier presents another vital work on the human condition by drawing upon a wealth of experience as a practicing physician and counselor. Dr. Tournier probes behind our daily irritability, overaggressiveness, and indifference, and exposes the hidden source that gives rise to these attitudes: guilt. With examples from everyday life, Dr. Tournier shows how to handle the inevitable guilt that arises in human relations so that guilt becomes "a friend because it leads to the experience of grace." In a warm and vivid style, strikingly illuminated by Biblical insights, the author shares with the reader his compassionate and practical understanding. Translated into English by Arthur W. Heathcote, this book is a sequel to "Bible et Médecine," which the author published in 1951.
