Synopsis

Andrew Clitherow explores ways in which we might develop our prayer lives, and encourages us to move beyond our personal needs, in order to bring our prayers to bear on the life of the world, for the good of all. 'It is by love that we become at one with ourselves and others and with God. At a time when many struggle to discover this love in the church, when the foundations of society have been found to be more fragile than we ever imagined and when the future of the planet is under threat along with the well-being of billions of human beings, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to rediscover the language of love that unites earth and heaven' From the introduction ' . . . [has] the power to restore hope through its searing honesty and transparent vulnerability' Emeritus Professor Brian Thorne (on Creative Love in Tough Times)
