Reviews

"May Father Haggerty's reflections assist many to 'put out into the deep' of the life of prayer."
-- Raymond Cardinal Burke p>"A great invitation stirs within these pages to embark on the ultimate quest for God and holiness."
-- Fr. Augustine Di Noia, O.P. p>"That a book like this one has been written in our times is an unexpected joy and a cause for enormous gratitude. Read this book, rejoice, and be reawakened to the Gospel."
-- Matthew Levering, Ph.D., Professor of Theology, Mundelein Seminary"Fr. Haggerty provokes, encourages, and reassures Christians who struggle to remain faithful to prayer when the Lord seems to be silent. This work offers a very fresh, attractive, and compelling challenge, inviting readers to take heart, to expect more, and to give more to the Lord."
-- Sr. Sara Butler, M.S.B.T. p>"Father Haggerty reveals that the most active of saints found the wellspring of their energies in the prayer of contemplation, by developing the habit of talking to God, intimately."
-- Fr. Romanus Cessario, O.P.
