Many Christians today experience a tension between a desire from fuller prayer life and their commitment to an active , sometimes hectic life in the word. Father Green off... many helpful suggestions to help resolve this tension. Based on scripture and his own experience in prayer and spiritual direction, he skillfully leads his readers to the discovery of the mysterious unity between prayer and a busy life in the world. His message of hope is this: The fatigue and frustrations of the active life can be experienced as the means our Lord uses to purify us and lead us to union with himself. Our busy life need not be seen as filled with obstacles to prayer, but rather with occasions in which we can learn to pray with a greater sense of God's love for us.
