Customer Reviews

Short, but profound

Gloria Hutchinson has written a book that capsulizes the ways in which six saints have prayer. She features Francis of Assisi, Clare of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, Therese of Lisieux, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross. She writes a brief biography of each and then describes their approach to prayer. Each section has questions for the reader to use as a meditation. The thoughtful reader might take quite a while getting through this little book. In fact, Hutchinson is able to make the styles of each of these saints very appealing and inviting, leaving the reader wanting to know more. This a good book for people who are starting to explore ways to pray. it is a book for those who have been doing this for a while and would like a short pick me up.
