Here's My Heart, Here's My Hand

It's a difficult enough proposition for many people to believe that God--eternal, unchanging, all-knowing--could actually desire a relationship with them. But once they've accepted the premise that God indeed does want their friendship, it can be even more challenging to think about how to actually engage in that friendship, foster it, and remain anchored in it when life's storms toss them about.
In Here's My Heart, Here's My Hand, veteran spiritual director William A. Barry, SJ, helps us understand how we can experience a special, personal relationship with God and what effects that close relationship will have on our lives. The book is a collection of nearly twenty of the finest previously published articles Fr. Barry has written on the subject of friendship with God. Although the selections are diverse in their overall themes--from changing our image of God to forgiving as Jesus forgives--each one shares the common thread of helping us see prayer as the way to a conscious relationship with God.
Written in the warm, conversational tone for which Fr. Barry is known, Here's My Heart, Here's My Hand is ideal both for spiritual seekers and for those who already know the joy of a relationship with God but want to strengthen that friendship.
