My Happy Heart

Prayer of the Heart

Gregory Ryan

This beautiful and valuable book can open the treasures of the tradition of contemplative prayer to the young; the very people we must be concerned about for the future of our world.  There is nothing more important to teach them than how to find and enter and stay in tune with their own heart.  To live with a spiritual vision.  To sense the sacredness of life, to see God in and behind everyday appearances. 

Fr Laurence Freeman states in his Afterword to this book, “There is nothing more important to teach children than how to find and enter and stay in tune with their own heart. To live with a spiritual vision. To sense the Sacredness of life; to see God in and behind everyday appearance”. This delightful book introduces children to Christian meditation as a simple way of love and joy.

The author Gregory Ryan is a teacher and a meditator of over 30 years. Ryan and his wife, Elizabeth have two wonderful daughters Caitlin and Abigail.  Before he retired recently and became a grandfather, Gregory Ryan was a teacher in the elementary grades for 40 years!

The book comes with a companion CD My Happy Heart Sings. Children will love to hear the happy little melody over and over. Even adults will be charmed by it.
