Prayers of Grief and Glory

Forty-five meditations from Radio 4's Today programme, showing the author's rare gift for getting straight to the heart of each subject. Prayers of Grief and Glory is a collection of 45 of those four-minute reflections in which Bishop Harries demonstrates his rare gift for taking a line from a poet, philosopher or playwright and using it to light up what he has to say. Listening to him is rather like listening to music - the more you get on his wavelength the more you appreciate what he is trying to say - and those who are familiar with his voice will appreciate his conversational script. Prayers of Grief and Glory is ideally suited for personal use or group discussion.
