Speaking to challenges at the heart of the spiritual life, such as why it seems so hard to love one another, and the mysteries of faith and longing, he offers a timely, helpful, and irresistible approach to this greatest of all spiritual adventures. With reflections on how we can reconnect with the ancient roots of Christian faith, Alan Jones shares the difficult and joyful lessons of life that are revealed fully when we attend The School of Love.
