The Tree of Life -Models of Christian Prayer

“Chase has written a book of great depth & scope, demonstrating an impressive knowledge of the Christian tradition from the earliest days to the contemporary writers on prayer. This is not a book to be skimmed but rather one to be read slowly & savored, then to be put on the shelf as a good friend & revisited frequently. Chase writes with lucidity & grace; his central , uniting image of prayer as the tree of life is refreshing & provocative.”
