Speaking to and from the heart

Beautifully written conversation with God about the things that matter. Cardinal Thuan's prison experience speaks to the power of God to sustain,to transform and to empower despite our sense of abandonment. He shares his experience of a personal conection with God in a simple and refreshingly non- pious, non-clerical fashion. Written as a series of 90 short reflections, the reader is not overwhelmed by words and can actually spend time relating it to their own experience. I would recommend this book to any person who has struggled or searched in the silence of their own life.
