Attending Others

“We have lately seen a number of excellent writers who are doctors. Perhaps because a doctor must find words to give us when we are most broken and in need of encouragement, the best have learned the healing art of words. Dr. Brian Volck joins their company with this glorious memoir.”

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“This is a wonderful book, deep in its understanding that prayer is a journey--a step at a time. It is Bunyan's progress, updated, still Christian, Catholic and Protestant. At times it struck me as Buddhist. I can imagine anyone--religious or not--finding its insight into the moment under our feet, where we always find ourselves, as important as the place where we think we are headed.”
