Ideas that contradict Church teaching: 

A clear and simple scheme of man's path to God, with living examples that are close to the reader. They deal with different aspects of the Christian faith: creation, original sin, the Incarnation and Redemption, the Church, freedom, sin and vocation, the novitiates.... Contains many good examples.

The maps do not prove anything," says the author, "they simply show it. There are only two reasons to trust a map: the first is the authority of the cartographer who made it, the second is one's own experience when one has already traveled the roads with the help of the cartographer. The second reason is usually less useful... therefore a map must be accepted or rejected according to the confidence that the cartographer deserves. In our case, fortunately, the cartographer is God".
