Armchair Mystic

I really enjoyed this book. I found that the author gives really practical advice on how to improve your prayer life. This book is not about Mystics or Mysticism it is about the ordinary person wanting to improve his/her prayer life to become as close to God as possible in an ordinary lay persons life

Best book on prayer ever

This is a wonderful book, wonderfully read in the audible version by the author. What a treat! The only book on prayer you’ll ever need. God bless Fr Mark, and thank you for this and all your work.
