Philip Zaleski, Carol Zaleski

Houghton Mifflin, 2005

A Classic Work on the Experience of Prayer
This magnificent rethinking of humankind's experience of prayer abounds in telling examples.

To speak of the afterlife is at best to engage in wishful thinking, at worst to descend to the level of pop religion, encounters with angels, and ...
