“These contemporary prayers speak powerfully of one man’s search for a closer relationship with the God: Yet his struggles and trials are familiar to all who seek God. Father Nouwen’s prayers easily become our own.”–Spiritual Book News
“Reminiscent of some of the meditations and prayers of Thomas à Kempis in Imitation of Christ. Very personal, mystical, and yet intensely
practical intercessions. A useful tool for personal reflection and meditation.” –The Banner
