![]() ![]() I was, in fact, convinced I would have to work to write a favorable review. I thought I knew the tone it would have and the attitude of eye-rolling it would inspire in me. ![]() I'll admit, I only read this book because my arm was twisted. It is certainly chock-full of good ideas, most of which I have tried and found efficacious in my love for the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. For someone with fresh eyes and a young open heart coming to Adoration for the first time, this book could be everything they were searching for. I guess having read those it isn't fair for me to review this, to compare the books. There is also the masterpiece: The Hidden Manna: A Theology of the Eucharist. ![]() Groeschel also has several books on praying in the presence of Lord which I have not read as I found this historical and theological treatise inspiring enough. A couple of books I would suggest are Could You Not Watch with Me One Hour?: How to Cultivate a Deeper Relationship with the Lord through Eucharistic Adoration or In the Presence of Our Lord. If you have been a regular adorer for more than a couple years, you will probably find most of the material in this book what I would call light. Flynn is a lively writer and has many encouraging suggestions to inspire and motivate the novice, restless or conversely, sleepy soul. If you are a beginner or relatively new to Adoration, this would be the book to take/use. ![]()
