description: The Gift of Faith (known also as Inquiring Faith ) looks at faith in an unconventional way, yet is rooted in a sound theology of the spiritual life. In this book, "the genius of a theologian of faith as well as the charisma of a spiritual director are clearly visible" (cf. The Lexicon of Fundamental Theology , prepared by the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Lublin Kraków 2002, p.299-300). It is the fruit of many years of teaching and over thirty years of experience as a spiritual director with a great number of people. This book is a response to the desire of many seeking deep interior spirituality. With simplicity and clarity, the author engages the reader's attention and awakens their yearning to experience God and to follow a specific path of sanctification.Father Wilfrid Stinissen O.C.D. wrote about Fr. Dajczer's The Gift of Faith : "I strongly recommend this book. If one learns a lesson from what he reads here, he will be guided inevitably on the way of sanctity."The Gift of Faith has become a bestseller in the field of Christian spirituality throughout the world. It promotes the essentials of the new evangelization to build God s Kingdom through an ardent faith as proclaimed by Pope Paul VI and Blessed Pope John Paul II. Pope Benedict XVI continues to support a reawakening of the faith, and in 2010 established the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization. In his Apostolic Letter, Ubicumque et Semper , issued " moto proprio ," Pope Benedict affirms, "at the root of all evangelization lies not a human plan of expansion, but rather the desire to share the inestimable gift that God has wished to give us, making us sharers in his own life." The Gift of Faith can enkindle a yearning for this desire.
