The Gospel of the Heart

Flor McCarthy is well known for his capacity to present the Christian message in ways that are fresh and vibrant. His books of homilies show him to be a master story-teller, who contributes in a special way towards providing a new lively style of preaching. In The Gospel of the Heart, this preacher and catechist brings his talents to bear on helping readers gain a deeper feeling for what the Christian story offers by way both of comfort and of challenge. He sees a spirituality of the heart as being both down-to-earth and joyful. Starting from the need to take 'The Way of the Heart, The Gospel of the Heart moves on to tell of 'Encounters of the Heart' and to offer 'Parables of the Heart' before outlining ways of 'Living from the Heart'. All four parts of The Gospel of the Heart demonstrate the primacy of the heart in Christian spirituality. The Gospel of the Heart offers encouragement, hope and fresh insights to everyone who seeks to put new vigour into understanding the Christian message, and into living its Gospel.
