Ken Barker's book introduces the beginner in the spiritual life to the riches of the scriptural message regarding our growth in the life of God. It also invites the reader to enter the world of Christian tradition: Francis de Sales, John of the Cross, Catherine of Siena and a host of others are invoked as the great cloud of witnesses whose experience helps point the way for us today. Fr. Ken also makes good use of his own wide experience of the faith as he seeks to encourage the beginner to hearken to the call of the Lord.
