"Morgan challenges the powerful, but dead end, assumptions of so many about prayer, knocking down a lot of walls that keep them from prayer. But that is only half the case. Insightfully and modestly, he proposes some things that prayer might be in a meaningful life. One of the best is his meditation on Simone Weil's thought that attention and openness are at the heart of prayer."" -- Rev. Eric Springsted, Ph.D. Presbyterian Minister, Former Chaplain at Princeton University, Published Scholar, 30 September 2019"
