Pattie's Review:

I really enjoyed this book. It appeals to the quiet contemplative who lives in my brain but does not often manifest in my social life. As I read, my fingers itched to write down so many quotations from the book. It is full of nuggets of wisdom and profound insights about the nature of God that are fresh and thought-provoking.

Robert Benson writes about how to find the echo of the divine call of God within ourselves. It's an echo of the One who spoke us into being and who speaks to us within our hearts today.

Benson has given me much to ponder, especially during this Lenten season. I highly recommend this book. In fact, I think it would be a great gift for college graduates this spring.

Many thanks to the author and publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
