Trade ReviewWe warmly commend for reading, study and prayer, this book. * Fairacres Chronicle *
Thomistic writings are know for their complexity. However, Fr Murray directs any reader, academic or lay, to engage with Thomas's fruitful reflections on the Lord's Prayer... Brief, yet powerful. * The Irish Catholic *
Murray abundantly demonstrates the spiritual force of Aquinas's teaching in this inspiring and accessible study. * The Church Times *
This book is just long enough to be read with ease, and to stir up our desire to pray with confidence and hope, but it also contains such richness that it will amply reward many meditative revisits. * New Blackfriars *
...[an] excellent new book... Murray knows his subject well and is able to present it clearly and concisely. * Theology *
Praying with Confidence offers a painless introduction to the spirituality of the Angelic Doctor...It provides solid spiritual nourishment. It is also engagingly written and very affordable. It would be a good book to take on retreat. * Commonweal *
