Book Review – Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love

Published on by Kimberly NovakLeave a comment

I find myself volunteering for book reports more often than ever before. God has given me a new thirst for spiritual enlightenment in this medium. Looking back at my childhood, I can honestly say that I NEVER volunteered to read a book and write an essay. It’s funny how things work out as we enter adulthood and allow ourselves to tap into the passionate desires God has placed in our hearts.

Sometimes, I know reading another book will add a lot to my plate, but I can’t fight the urge to raise my hand. I am excited when I receive notice of the book on the way and then have a little panic moment, realizing I need to fit it into my schedule. With God at the helm, it all works out in the end, and I am gifted with a deeper understanding of how prayer affects me daily.

Recently, I reviewed an exciting course and companion book from Emmaus Academy, Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father’s Love, by Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB, co-wrote with his confrère, Fr. Thomas Acklin, OSB, both of St. Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, PA. 

I have never been disappointed by a book I chose to review, and this one certainly lived up to its title. It is a must-have for your faith-based library and continuing education resource for those in the religious life.
