In these pages, Fr. Pennington invites readers, in a deeply personal way, to go deeper and deeper toward the Centre where the Word of God speaks, where the experience of God's healing love and real prayer take place. Thence comes transformation and a different world emerges, one which reflects a true self that sees things as God sees them. This selection of insights satisfies the deepest human longing, especially in a time marked by loneliness, stress, and violence, filled with deceptive mirages, never-satisfying achievements, and heartbreaking disappointments. Fr. Pennington affirms that beyond the shallow 'values' of the everyday world lies true meaning which makes life fulfilling, ecstatic, and liberating.
