Prayer Works: Getting a Grip on Catholic Spirituality (Print Version)
If you've never read a book on prayer, you've got the right one. And if you've read lots of books on prayer, you've still got the right one.
Prayer Works is a unique blend of great storytelling, laugh-out-loud humor, and rock-solid instruction. Matthew Leonard has the rare gift of making deep topics easy to understand and digest.
Practical and inspirational, this book will set your heart on fire and teach you how to engage in a life of divine intimacy you never thought possible. Put simply, Prayer Works will radically transform your spiritual life.
