The Church Jesus Prayed For

Michael Cassidy looks at Jesus's vision for the Church, passed down to us in John 17, surely one of the the most profound chapters of all scripture. He contrasts this with the Church's reality in the world now, asking with prayerful reflection: Where have we gone wrong? How should we amend our ways?

This readable and attractive book is permeated with Michael's generous, engaging spirit, and with his perceptive insights into the human condition. Thoughtfully illustrated with dozens of anecdotes.
