By Johann Christoph Arnold, Plough Publishing House, May 1999

Cries From the Heart answers a specific spiritual hunger millions share - a longing for a personal connection to the divine and to their own spiritual dimension. In times of crisis, all of us reach for someone, or something, greater than ourselves. Some call it prayer. Others just do it. For many, it's often like talking to a wall.

Arnold's book, Cries from the Heart offers the reader a wonderful insight into the compassion and sensitivity that are the hallmarks of the Christian faith tradition. Many of the anecdotal materials discovered in the book will find an echo in the hearts of its readers. Slowly and with much difficulty, we all learn how the cries of the human heart, no matter where we are on the spectrum of faith, are much the same. As we reach out to others with the soothing balm of Christ's message and call, we rediscover the deep secret that we are all children of the Father who can rejoice in the love and compassion of Jesus Christ.
