Images of Prayer

Using the image of the night, its mysteries and its associations, this book offers meditations which lead the reader deeper into the ways of God and strengthens faith. It uses the classic four watches of the night as a framework - evening, midnight, cock crow and early dawn, and reflects on a wide variety of themes, including protection from fear, the dark night of the soul, night and eros, sleep, the stars, dreams, silence, watching and waiting, and the light that comes out of darkness - all of which resonate deeply in human experience.
