The heart as an image of love is found everywhere in popular culture,
yet devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is often dismissed as
excessive piety. This rich and deep tradition, that is rooted in
scripture and reaches back to the earliest Christian centuries, springs
from an understanding of the name and nature of God as love.
In this poetic and powerful book, John-Francis Friendship opens up the
treasures of an overlooked spirituality and offers a wealth of resources
for the living the of faith and reflecting the wonder, joy, compassion
and calling that comes from intimacy with the love of God made visible
in Christ.
