Reviews

[Matt Candler · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my favorite and top books on prayer that opened my eyes to the world of delight and joy as a result of encountering the living Word.

Thomas Dubay brings you into the wide-eyed wonder of the beauty of life and the possibility of prayer in a life lived in gospel-generosity.

Can not recommend this book enough.
Hard to find.
Worth the find.
