Customer Reviews

Written By A Nice Fellow

Although I have not read his book, I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Sweeney at a book signing in San Francisco. A seemingly good man with a firm handshake, he struck me as just the sort of person who knows books and would enjoy writing one. Congratulations Mr. Sweeney and good luck in the future. Much love in Jesus Name!

A great help to me

I was recently given this book by a friend. It was just what I needed to help me look at prayer in a new way. I was taught to pray by my grandmother many many years ago--but this is something entirely different. She would have liked it too!

Beautiful and moving: spirituality for anyone

This unusual book caught my eye; I wasn't looking for anything about prayer. But it isn't your usual book about prayer, either. This is embodied prayer, prayer as our way of living. Pictured in beautiful black and whites and described in evocative prose, I feel like I can do prayer this way.I found it very moving--and motivating--to look anew at my spiritual life.
