Robert Page writes with a special kind of freedom and authority about the development of his relationship with God. In an age dominated by spin, the cult of celebrity, materialism, skepticism and cynicism, he speaks without fear for his professional standing is neither learned academic nor theologian. He is a self-confessed Ordinary Joe whose life has taken some extraordinary turns. He addresses subjects which have relevance for all of us, whatever our beliefs. They include the acceptance of personal responsibility; why we need to do more than eliminate what is undesirable from our speech and actions; how we must embrace a policy of rigorous self-honesty if we are to progress in our spiritual lives; and, why we can do no other than to love our neighbor and God exactly as we love ourselves and our many unrecognized encounters with God and His sometimes surprising agents of personal growth.

About the Author

Reviews
This slender book offers a wonderful, shattering, enduring and most attractive revelation of the ways of God with a man locked for years in darkness and despair. His account is very earthed, rings true and radiates hope for all. (Fr Gerard W.Hughes SJ, Author of God of Surprises, Oh God, why?) It is wisdom and vulnerability such as this that makes people grow, change, and discover their best self. Read THE PRESENCE to be inspired and challenged and comforted! (Fr Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Founder of Center for Action & Contemplation, Albuquerque.)
