Trade Review'[Contains] much which could help us all in deepening our prayer life.' Clem Jackson, Christian Marketplace -- Clem Jackson, Christian Marketplace
"This is a fluent and thoughtful book, practical in its approach, and accessible to a wide range of readers." Dr Dunstan, St Edmund's College, Cambridge, Church Times
"A book on prayer that whets the appetite and leads into prayer is a good one. This is one such book ... The author manages to talk in a practical way and in a readable style about the contemplative dimensions of prayer. I recommend it for any one interested in deepening their prayer." - The Furrow
"Suffused with that same spirit of gentleness, good sense, humour and understanding of human nature ... which are often considered typically Benedictine traits ... It is the attention paid to the dynamic relationship between the personal and cosmic scales which sets this book apart from many other manuals of prayer ... We owe Dom David a debt of gratitude for sharing so generously of his wide reading, pastoral experience and, one suspects, hard-gained personal insights, all of which lend the book remarkable depth and breadth in fewer than 150 pages." The Downside Review, April 2009
