Review Quotes

"This uncomplicated book provides an antidote to a complicated life. If multitasking defines your typical day, applying the brakes to spend a complete hour in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament may raise the question, 'But what would I do there?' The answer is, 'Open this book.'"

"John Kyler has compiled a very effective collection of prayers, scriptural passages, and brief spiritual writings to enhance anyone's efforts at making a holy hour of meditation. The assortment of resources spans our whole Catholic tradition, and it would be valuable both to those who are new to the practice of prayerful meditation as well as to those who have had much more experience. In addition, parish communities could benefit greatly from this resource, which includes a sample Order of Service for a lay-led Holy Hour for parishes without a resident priest."
