'Sit back, relax and drink in this book: you are in the hands of an
enthusiast!...This is a book written in simple English, with not
too many words on the page, with succinct and interesting
footnotes, with ubheadings that help you to spot the bog ideas and
argument along the way. ...I can't recall reading as lucid accont
of the balance between action and contemplation anywhere as in the
section The World Within God's Hand in the first chapter. What a
joy, too, to read some genuinely exuberant writing on the
importance of happiness for Dominicans.' The Pastoral Review, Vol

and modern-day Dominicans, Murray draws his readers through
compelling narrative and poignant use of anecdote into exploring a

the most passionate preachers of Christian History.' Methodist
