this is an absolutely beautiful book. every page contains at least one pearl of wisdom. this book completely changed my view on prayer and absolutely turned my relationship with god around. i can’t recommend this enough, irrespective of your belief in god

Vintage Metropolitan Anthony! And even though Fr. George Lefebvre is Roman Catholic, and I am an Orthodox Christian, I found his writings edifying and inspiring, though he seemed to circle around faith, hope, and love repetitively; a Christian message in a different key.

such a great book.. so many quotes so little time. I should probably do a proper review, but I'm still mulling over it all and feel like I need to read it again.
That said, this is actually two books bundled together. The first book is The Courage to Pray by Met. Anthony. The second book is Lord Stay With Us by Benedictine Monk Georges LeFebvre. Both are short - about 60-70 pages each. I haven't read the 2nd one yet and don't know that I will because I'd rather find another book on prayer by Met. Anthony and read that.

Really in depth material. Good group discussion at Catacombs Book Store. May read again.
