The American writer and columnist Kevin Wells, writing for Crisis magazine, wrote a whole article on David Torkington, our first author. He concluded, as we have concluded, “that he is the world’s foremost Mystical Theologian”, and that “you will find no better teacher this side of heaven”.
The words with which David Torkington begins his book Passport to Perfection, leads his readers back to the Spirituality first lived by Christ the King before he introduced it into the early Church. It is a simple compelling summary of fourteen spiritual books on prayer written over sixty years
“When I went to bed at night the house was completely blacked out. When I woke in the middle of the night it was to rush into the air raid shelter with the rest of the family. We never stopped saying the rosary until the siren sounded the ‘all clear’. Where we went, who we spoke to, and what we did was all restricted.
“I was born shortly before the second world war started, and what was new and all but unbearable to everyone else in the family, was simply normal to me. It is rather like Catholics today. They have grown up in a strange abnormal religious world, yet they have known no other, and they think it is normal. Yet it is aeons away from the first Catholic world and the faith that was first introduced by Jesus Christ Our Lord.”
Our heartfelt thanks at Essentialist Press goes to The Abbess and Sister Artist, who designed the covers of Never too Late to Love, Inner Life and A New Beginning.” This acknowledgement from The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles whose incorrupt foundress is Sr Wilhelmina, is the greatest blessing Essentialist Press could have.
