'To one who prays, the world becomes ever deeper and God ever greater' writes Johannes Hartl, a man who has spent his life journeying into the heart of prayer. This is his inspiring story of a life lived out in prayer. Whether in his childhood in the vicinity of a Benedictine Abbey, his youthful exploits doing the most extreme things he could think of for Jesus, or throughout his numerous travels, in retrospect Hartl can see the real purpose behind the many stages of his life: he was called to discover the power of prayer. And it is on this journey of discovery – through the desert of Syria, into isolated monasteries and the jungles of Laos, to breath-taking panoramas in the Mediterranean – that he takes you, to share the spiritual insights he has found along the way that will help you to catch fire for a life of prayer yourself.
