Author Description

In John 17 Jesus prays for the church. Michael Cassidy contrasts Jesus's vision with the church's mundane reality, asking: What should we do? How can we amend our ways? He studs his text with dozens of luminous and engaging anecdotes. This is an enormously readable and attractive book, the fruit of reflection over 35 years, permeated with Michael's generous, engaging spirit and shot though with insights into the human condition.
