Not What I Expected...

...and yet better. I've been a fan of Robert Benson for some time, and I've enjoyed reading and studying his works on prayer and praying. I'm not sure exactly WHAT I expected from this book; I know this book delivered more. Please, if your body, mind, spirit or heart is or ever has been broken, read this book. You will find some peace in your broken-ness. I know I did. I look forward to reading the other Benson titles I bought.

Another masterpiece

Robert Benson is no doubt the most recent in a long line of great Anglican writers. His take on life, as an "everyman," is a true departure from the stodgy theology lectures of most books on inter-denominational relationships. At a time when the Church is dividing over seemingly incosequential matters, Mr. Benson provides a common sense view that what binds us together is far stronger that what seeks to pull us apart.

He's done it again...

I have to agree with the notion that one of our finest writers can be found in Robert Benson. Reading this book is like sitting in front porch rockers, having an open and honest conversation about the concerns of the Body of our Lord. Robert holds back nothing...from himself and from the way things are within today's church. As with all his other books, I'll read this one again and again.(And, Robert: thx for mentioning my church as a fine example of worship!)

A clear message for a church threatening division

Robert Benson may be the finest Christian writer in America. He has a passionate vision for declaring the reality of God's redemptive love in carefully crafted poetic stories that perfectly capture the truth and power of the Gospel. This is a book that should be read by all Christians faced with disagreement and disunity in their community.
