Make space, make symbols: A personal journey into prayer

This book was given to me as a gift from the parish whose Catholic grammar school I had attended. I am an atheist, but I found this book to be interesting, very personal, and enlightening. It is one of the few Christian texts that I have found relevant to my life.Keith Clark discusses his personal experiences with God, outside the ritual of the Catholic Church. He shows us ways that he has experienced God in the world and his life, both unexpectedly and in times/places that he made himself available to such experience.Making space and symbols for ourselves is something humans do innately, but Keith Clark gives us ways to use that capability to open up our selves to the unknown, the mystical, and the awe-inspiring. Whether you are Catholic or not, this book is at worst an interesting personal testament and at best a beautiful statement about humanity and the experience of what many call the divine.
