Review
Filled with insights into spiritual growth and the options for meeting God in daily prayer time. Crux of the NewsIf this book ends up on the shelf next to Introduction to the Devout Life, they will be in fitting company. David McLaurin, winner of the "Daily Express Book of the Year Award" for his novel Bishop of San FernandoThe format and flow of a novel but the impact of a work of deep mysticism. This little book can revolutionize the way you pray. To get better at doing 'the most important thing' in your life, we recommend you read this book. Larry Holley O.S.B., Book Nook , USAHis engrossing style masks the depth of his practical advice and specifics about many forms of prayer from the traditional to the new. Stanley M. Grabowski, Ph.D., Pastoral LifeDavid Torkington writes about prayer, the true deep prayer of the heart that surrenders us to the Father of Jesus. So simply expressed, so colloquial, that we understand the total love of God as the essential act of being human. Sr. Wendy Beckett, Mount Carmel
