"A master weaver is at work here...I found my soul on every page. At last we have a guide who helps us know what to do with the fire of desire within us. At last a comprehensive, life-giving approach to sexuality. At last a dynamic understanding of how the paschal mystery plays in our own lives. At last a way to weave love for the poor and struggling people with the highest mystical love of God...I love this book"
- Sister Helen Prejean, Author of Dead Man Walking

"Without doubt, Ronald Rolheiser's The Holy Longing is one of the best books about Christian spirituality that has been published in many a year. It's insights are just what all of us need at this moment of history. It blends the old and the new in ways that few others can do"
- Most Reverend Rembert G. Weakland, O.S.B., Archbishop of Milwaukee
