The heart as an image of love is found everywhere in popular culture, yet devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is often dismissed as excessive piety. This rich and deep tradition, rooted in scripture and reaching back to the earliest Christian centuries, springs from an understanding of the name and nature of God as love. In Heart of My Own Heart, John-Francis Friendship opens up the treasures of the spiritual traditions associated with the heart, full of wisdom for living a life of faith and reflecting the wonder, joy and compassion that comes from intimacy with God made visible in Christ. It considers The Heart of the Trinity, Sacred Hearts, The Heart in Pilgrimage, The Heart of the Eucharist, The Cosmic Heart, and much more.
