Many of us go into each new day with a vague sense of apprehension. Worry, depression, low self-esteem or a sense of hopelessness prevent our lives being all they could be. How, we wonder, may we move into the freedom and peace that Christ holds out to us? This reassuring book, full of engaging stories, has been written by a chartered psychologist and a priest with a distinguished teaching and pastoral ministry. Through practical exercises, The Circle of Peace enables us to understand where the discomfort we feel may originate; it encourages us to alleviate our pain by being courageous enough to experiment with small but beneficial changes. Above all, this compassionate book communicates the healing truth that encountering the love of God frees us to love our neighbours and ourselves as we should – in the full enjoyment of God’s exhilarating company.
