Greg Popcak has a great gift for expressing the deepest truths of human life in clear, down-to-earth language. In How to Find True Love he invites us to move beyond the superficial images so popular in our culture and to look into the heart of a great mystery: that we were created for love, that real love changes even those of us who don’t want to be changed by it, and that it is only by having the courage to be open to real love, in all its forms, that we become the people God wants us to be. This is a beautiful and very helpful book.”—Dan Connors, editor-in-chief, Catholic Digest

68178 9780824526986 This little spiritual classic has helped thousands of readers over the decades.  Failure or disappointment may be God’s chance to open us more effectively than we can ever open ourselves, and to stretch us beyond our small hopes and expectations. Sister Maria Boulding’s poignant reflections on loss and its meanings create a spiritual, contemplative framework against which readers can interpret their lives’ troubles and setbacks. Thoroughly biblical, theologically sound and informed by the liturgy and personal prayer, [her books’] appeal seems to lie in the way they combine depth and universality with a tone that is both personal and affective, recalling that of medieval Cistercian Fathers.”—The Times (of London)
