A book of prayers, although it is not a `prayer book' in the normal meaning of that word. ""I wouldn't dare tell others what words they should use, how they should speak to God, how they should relate to God,"" says Fr McArdle. ""The inspiration comes from God himself, through the presence and work of his Spirit in our hearts...In this book I have prayed for the guidance of the Spirit, reached down into my heart, and written the words that came from there... What is offered here is nothing more than a kick-start on a journey, and I have helped you only when you don't need the words in this book to open your heart to God, or to get to know the heart of God."" Jack McArdle is a priest of the Sacred Hearts Community in Dublin

Something of his energy and enthusiasm comes across in his writing and he has astonishing fund of good stories to illustrate each Sunday's reading.""--Open House.
