Delightful and inspiring. Filled with notable and quotable text. Hermitage / Nashville author. ( )

Huge gaps, no real sharing, spiritual direction?!? ( )

Frederick Buechner of this book, "In looking at his own life with candor and hope, Robert Benson helps us look at our own. His words have the ring of truth."

Benson examines from his own spiritual journey how we communicate with God. Looking at various aspects of prayer such as the tradition of liturgy, the liturgical calendar, comtemplative prayer of various religious traditions, journaling, and other disciplines, he touches the heart.....the heart of the reader, the heart of God, the heart of prayer.

This one of he best reads I have ever had of a book on the formation of the spirit. It is both comforting and challenging. It makes one smile and think. ( )
