Having read other of Barry's works I was looking to this book as a sort of primer to a formative prayer life. I was not mistaken! In a profound yet easily read way, Barry explores the levels of attitudes one may have about God (ambivalence, acceptance, fear, transparency, intimacy, etc.) which are actually more than attitudes; they are ways in which we relate to God.

Barry's use of scripture is in the lectio divina format ('sacred reading') that lets the reader explore the biblical story in depth. In doing so, one is brought to a deeper realization of just how much Jesus was/is an alive presence in his world and our present life.

An excellent resource for any "beginner" in the life of prayer and spiritual formation, but also a great resource for those who are leading or discipling others. (
