''A Year of Grace'' is an anthology compiled by Victor Gollancz, consisting of passages (and some pieces of music) concerning religious and spiritual life, taken from a variety of different sources. The sources include the writings of a number of rabbis, European and American philosophers, psychologists, poets and theologians, as well as some Biblical scripture. Islam and Hinduism are represented by Rumi and Hafiz, Ramakrishna and Kabir, the Baghavad Gita and the Upanishads. ==Composition and publication==
Gollancz started reading for the book (which he also used in ''From Darkness to Light'') over the winter of 1943, when recovering from a nervous breakdown he had had in June of that year, and worked on it intermittently until it was published.〔Edwards, Ruth Dudley (1987) ''Victor Gollancz A Biography'', p.382 & 546, Gollancz Ltd 〕 He wrote it over the winter of 1949, and it was published on 2 October, 1950.〔Edwards p.488 & 573〕 Gollancz gave the royalties from the book to his daughters, and felt the book would do good to the world. ''A Year of Grace'' became a Christmas bestseller in the UK and by June of 1951 had sold a healthy 40,000.〔Edwards p.581〕 In America the book was published as ''Man and God'' by Houghton and Mifflin, and was made Book of the Month Club Choice. However, it sold much less well on other side of the Atlantic, only shifting 5,000 copies.〔Edwards p. 600〕
