Praise for Gary Jansen "Wonderful." –Paulo Coelho, international bestselling author of The Alchemist. "A fine writer." –Kenneth L. Woodward, Former Religion Editor of Newsweek and award-winning author of Getting Religion "A gifted and thoughtful storyteller, Gary Jansen offers smart and practical advice on how to cultivate a rich spiritual life." –James Martin, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage "With compassion, wisdom, humility, and practical simplicity, Gary Jansen shows that by making a small space in your life each day for prayer and contemplation, your entire life will become filled with the presence of God." –Michael Singer, New York Times bestselling author of The Untethered Soul and The Surrender Experiment "Gary Jansen helps us take our faith from a dry intellectual exercise to a powerful personal encounter." –Jennifer Fulwiler, radio host and author of Something Other Than God "Gary Jansen does two things extraordinarily well. He brings the rich history of Catholic devotional practices to life through words, and he shows readers how to apply this tradition to their own lives, especially when they feel distracted by the apparent meaningless conveyed through the screens of the computer, phone, and television. He connects our 'holy longing' for meaning to prayerful practice, with rich results. As he writes, 'When I prayed… questions were answered.' "This is a how-to book about prayer and devotions, and a history book that includes anecdotes and examples from the lives of the most interesting holy men and women from the Christian tradition. Jansen writes like a scholar, an entertainer, and a believer. The reader is simultaneously edified, helped, and fascinated." –Diana Pasulka, Professor and Chair of the Department of Philosophy and Religion, University of North Carolina Wilmington and author of Heaven Can Wait
