About this Book

Frank Topping says "I have no pretensions about being any kind of spiritual authority. I simply hope that my own experience may be of some help to those struggling along the same path." But judging by the popularity of his broadcasts and books, what he has to say will help many people in their search for a closer relationship with God through prayer.

"It seemed as if this had been written specially for me," That was the most frequently repeated phrase when listeners to Radio 2 wrote to the BBC asking for a copy of the script of Frank Topping's morning meditations on Pause for Thought. "What made me decide to broadcast them regularly," says Frank, "was the huge response from listeners - literally thousands."

In the Frank Topping series, the Lutterworth Press has published many of his most popular radio meditations. These collections of thoughts and prayers remain a pleasure to use and also a handy reference for those who want to find their favourite meditation.

Reviews and Comments

"Written in the same compact style as his talks, Frank has captured much helpful wisdom on prayer."
