Desires Of The Heart

Open your heart to God's love through prayer
From private devotion to group prayer, this accessible book of 48 mini-retreats helps open our hearts to the many ways we encounter God in our daily lives. Each session—corresponding to the booklets in the Growing Faith Project—offers prayers, Scripture readings, reflections, journal space and lyrics for songs on the included CD.

Enrich each exercise with beloved liturgical songs
Produced and arranged by Tom Kendzia, the CD features beautiful recordings of 24 beloved liturgical songs—including "Here I Am, Lord" (Dan Schutte), "O God, You Search Me" (Bernadette Farrell) and "On Eagle's Wings" (Michael Joncas). Each song is paired with one of the exercises in the book to create a peaceful and inspirational atmosphere for prayer.
