Description

Each of us is born with an innate longing for the God in whose image we are made. This book explores the many facets of this longing, beginning with the very nature of longing itself. It challenges us to enter into the pain - and the joy - of longing and to dare to respond to God's call to plunge into the abyss of love and share in the compassion of Christ. It draws on the wisdom of the Early Fathers, the Spiritual Classics, as well as contemporary writers in spirituality. Furnace of the Heart will speak powerfully to all of us who are hungering after God.
