A propos du livre

Revue de presse

What good work Frank Cunningham has done with Vesper Time. His underlying thesis that growing old is a way of prayer is quite wonderful. We re about the same age and I m trying to see it that way myself. His book is an invitation to more fully engage this stage of our journey and be enriched by it. --Richard Rohr

Anyone who has gazed at the rising moon or the emerging stars at twilight knows the beauty of this hour of day. Frank Cunningham reminds us that the Vesper Time of life is a rich seedbed for spiritual growth. His intimate and engaging chronicle gives voice to the wisdom and pleasures of this time. For those of us who have not yet reached a certain age, but hope to, Cunningham reassures us of the powerful spiritual adventure that awaits. --Judith Valente

Vesper Time reminds me of the gentle wisdom of Henri Nouwen s Genesee Diary. Both authors have the gift of discretion. They share enough of themselves to identify with their journey in a way that puts the focus on the reader rather than on themselves. Reading Vesper Time is like taking a long walk with a wise but down to earth friend. Relax with this book. It will nourish your tired soul. --Robert Wicks
