Wonder, fear and longing.



Another Mark Yaconelli.
A fabulous book. Really gentle and refreshing. Splits into ten chapters:
Love
Longing
Fear
Suffering
Compassion
Rest
Reflection
Passion
Wonder
Gratitude.


A really practical book. It explains, illustrates and exemplifies prayer in each chapter. As it says in the introduction, "This is a prayer book - a book to seduce, cajole, trick, and playfully entice your heart into expressing the prayer you want to pray. More than a book to be read, this is a book to be tried."

Really good. Will go back to it time and again, and I highly recommend it.
