My Father's Prayer: A Remembrance

by Phyllis Tickle

Book Overview

Phyllis Tickle's exquisitely crafted memoir interweaves thought and action. Although written in honor of her father, this "remembrance" is also about the quiet, prayerful craft of handwork and the woes of World War II. Most of all, it is about a space interior to us all--that space where we think and can be at peace with ourselves and others.

Gentle Memoir of War and Resistance

Phyllis Tickle, religion editor of Publishers Weekly, has written a gentle memoir of her father's prayerful response to World War 2. Her father endured the horror of the First World War and so as the second war began, he began his own act of spiritual resistance to the powers and principalities of evil. This is a nice, nice book. It reminds us that choices always exist and that we may seek to be open to God in all situations.
