By Way of the Heart: The Seasons of Faith

By Mark Oakley

Mark Oakley is one of the church’s most outstanding communicators. In this series of fifty beautifully crafted reflections, with characteristic wit, he traverses the landscape of the Christian year. His writing is shaped by a sense that language is sacramental, with a poet’s gift of opening up new worlds and new possibilities simply through words.
