Practice Makes Perfect Learning to love God is an art, says Fr. John Hampsch. It requires whole-hearted and concentrated effort but the rewards are worth it! In The Art of Loving God, with characteristic wit and wisdom, Fr. Hampsch explores the process of spiritual growth, including the four stages of every person's spiritual journey: Discovering that God loves us (and wants us to love him back). Learning to use the resources God gives us to sustain our faith journey. Facing with faithful hearts the "potholes, pitfalls, and panic" in life. Growing to spiritual maturity and helping others to grow, too. Reverend John H. Hampsch, C.M.F. is a popular conference speaker and retreat master, and author of numerous pamphlets and books, including Healing Your Family Tree. Fr. Hampsch is a member of Claretian Missionaries. ------------------------------------------------------ "In this new work Fr.
