Not really a book to read, but more of a book to do. Enjoyed the imagery and the focus on listening to God. Very helpful for those learning to live a contemplative life or for those needing a refresher.

A good book to work through either alone or with a group. Very rich.

This was a fantastic meditation book!! I loved the way it was set up, and I loved Macrina's writing/reflections. It creates the structure of being on a personal retreat.
