About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of On Union with God, by Blessed Albert the Great. Read by David Barnes. Surely the most deeply-rooted need of the human soul, its purest aspiration, is for the closest possible union with God. As one turns over the pages of this little work, written by Blessed Albert the Great towards the end of his life, when that great soul had ripened and matured, one feels that here indeed is the ideal of one's hopes. (From the Preface)
