In this popular book, Angela Ashwin explores the means of realising her goal.

In this book Angela addresses those times when it is hard to pray, perhaps because of harsh
and worrying circumstances. She explores ways in which our pain and our concern for the world's
suffering can, themselves, become the raw material for prayer, in the love of the crucified and
risen Christ.
Prayer is not an escape from the shadows - it is a way of facing them with God.
