Prism of Love

"In Prism of Love, Daniel J. O'Leary continues to share his passion for enriching the lives of his readers, by enabling them to delve a little deeper below the surface of what is happening to them, and around them." "The purpose of these current reflections is to reveal 'the dearest freshness deep down things', to disclose the secret of turning your life around and of living more freely and more abundantly. This revelation, this secret, is sometimes offered to us as pure gift when we least expect it. At other times we have to dig hard through the rubble of our lives before the stubborn gold surrenders itself."--BOOK JACKET.

Daniel J. O'Leary was formerly Episcopal Vicar for Christian Formation in the Diocese of Leeds and Head of the Religious Studies Department at St. Mary's College of Surrey University.
