About the author

My books include the children's novels "Befiddled" and "Backtracked" and works of non-fiction for adults, including "Indirect Procedures: A Musician's Guide to the Alexander Technique" and "The Alexander Technique: A Skill for Life" (published by Crowood). I travel the world giving seminars and master classes for all creative people. I'm currently finishing two new books -- a new novel for young readers titled "The Divine Computer" and a book for musicians titled "Integrated Practice." I'm also putting together a selection of my original improvisations and compositions for performance and recording.

A short, comprehensive book on prayer and meditation. Great information within the pages. I will definitely refer to this book again. Five stars! 🙏🏻

Finished in one sitting on Good Friday. This fortifying guide on how to properly indulge in mental prayer was written by St. Peter Alcantara and first published in 1558. I read the French 1962 version that was issued in honour of his four-centenary anniversary. It was very good, explaining in rich details the different steps of mental prayer and devotion.

Libro pequeño en tamaño pero gigantesco en sabiduría espiritual, escrito para desafiarnos a crecer en la oración y la devoción.
