Reviews / Votes
Beautifully sculpted, highly accessible, and so full of wisdom and wonderful quotes, this is a book for anyone interested in the practice of prayer not just Quakers. Reading it can be an immersion into prayer itself. -- Ben Pink Dandelion, Programmes leader, research, WoodbrookeMore details
