The heart is, arguably, the centre of our being. Images of hearts are found everywhere in popular culture, yet in the church they are often dismissed as excessive. But devotion to the sacred heart of Jesus offers a wealth of spiritual resources for the life of faith.

Chapters include:

- The heart of Jesus as an image of God’s love
- Mary’s heart – wonder and joy at the presence of the divine
- The call of the heart – intimacy and vocation
- The restless heart – discerning our needs
- Change of heart - what conversion means
- Heartfelt – the spirituality of compassion

- The oratory of the heart – the place of prayer and encounter
- The heart of the Eucharist – sacraments and spirituality
