Title: Peter Calway - Prophet
Description: Spennithorne Publications, UK, 1987. First Edition, Softcover. Very Good Condition. 9780951280508 Signed by Author. 180 pages. Every ambitious Publisher hopes to produce a best seller ? every successful publisher dreams of producing a classic. This book embodies both. It is first and foremost a brilliant exposition of the inner meaning of prayer and of the profound truths that underlie the spiritual life. Here at last is a voice that speaks with authority and consummate clarity amidst so much contemporary confusion, of the only One who makes all things new and of how to receive Him. The doctrine gradually unfolds in the context of two parallel stories that totally absorb the reader, one from the present, one from the past. The story from the past details the spiritual adventures of Peter as a young man in search of the spiritual wisdom that finally leads him to embrace the lifestyle of a hermit on the island of Calvay. The story from the present is of a mysterious disappearance that turns into a spy story that reaches its climax in the final chapter. The fast-moving style makes for compulsive reading as the reader cannot resist turning over page after page, that he knows he will have to return to for the rest of his life, to assimilate and digest at leisure. Fr. Rayner is an outstanding communicator as this book clearly testifies. He is equally at home in the pulpit, on the radio, before a television camera or with a pen in his hand. He has now forsaken all other work to become a full time lecturer, retreat master and spiritual director that takes him all over the world. Like his spiritual Father St. Francis of Assisi, he knows he has nothing to give unless it is first received in the solitude that he continually seeks out and repeatedly returns to. He is now generally recognised as a master of the Spiritual life and an expert on every aspect of Christian prayer. He has been well prepared for his present apostolate by many years of pastoral experience of every sort including ten years as the director of a residential retreat and conference centre in London and as the Dean of Studies at the National Catholic Radio and Television Centre, Hatch End.?
