Book: Praying the Truth

The maturity, gentleness and compassion of Praying the Truth attest to the fact that it is the work of a man in his 80s who has spent his life working at and thinking about the various themes covered in its pages and who is sharing the fruits of his experience, thoughts and prayers.

Over the years, William Barry SJ has made a name for himself as a spiritual director, tertian director, clinical psychologist and writer of many books on prayer and Ignatian spirituality. Thus his reputation often precedes him, and his fame generates expectations of something showing insight and experience. Praying the Truth does not disappoint. In theory, it could be read from cover to cover within an hour or so, so simple and direct is its language. However, to read it quickly would only detract from the value and pleasure of nibbling away at the pages of this small volume, teasing out its richness one section at a time.
