Though these prayers, poems and reflections are intended for those who are returning to the Church, the collection is a rich resource for all who wish to enliven their prayer life. The written and spoken prayers, both traditional and contemporary, are grouped around themes including how we know God, forgiving and being forgiven, and our experience of God in the world. Entries are taken from the daily celebration of the Mass, writings of saints, and works by modern spiritual leaders such as Gerard Manley Hopkins, Henri Nouwen, and Thomas Merton. The book also contains a comprehensive array of traditional prayers and devotions many may remember from childhood.

Prayers for the Road Home, with its appealing design and graphics, would make a wonderful gift to yourself or someone you love, and would also be a useful resource for faith-sharing groups.

I am a returning Catholic and highly recommend this book for others on the same path. The prayers are excellent and easy to pray. I especially like the ones by Thomas Merton.
