"The Faith of the Millions (2nd series)" by George Tyrrell is a set of essays from the end of the 1800s that looks at faith and spiritual topics that matter to everyday religious people, especially Catholics. The book talks about different ideas in theology and philosophy, and it also considers the problems and confusing situations people experience when trying to live a spiritual life. The journey starts with the introduction of Mother Juliana of Norwich, a mystic whose experiences and writings help to understand the connection between faith and what it means to be human. Her importance in history is noted and the book states that there can be confusion about her expressions. It paints her to be a timeless voice, who struggled with belief and doubt, which sets the stage for broader ideas about spirituality and encourages readers to think about how faith relates to their own lives and communities.
