I really am not done reading this book as yet, but I am compelled to recommend it NOW for anyone who wants to journey closer to God! I'm over halfway through the book!

Bill Shannon is an accessible spirituality writer/theologian, drawing heavily from the insights of Thomas Merton, who encourages the reader to:
- "do" prayer, not just read about it!
- delve deeper into the mystery of our God of LOVE.
- end the "spiritual apartheid' within themselves and encourage others to do the same.
- reach out to God in the silence of meditative prayer to truly receive God's loving presence.

It is packed full of theology, spirituality, like-giving lessons on prayer easily described (for Shannon) yet demanding MUCH further insight and dwelling with these thoughts by the reader!

A truly spiritual guide for those seeking to journey deeper into their relationship with the God of Love and Mystery!

Loved it when I read it years ago. I need to read it again.
