The author of The Holy Longing analyzes one of the most important aspects of faith for hundreds of millions of Christians- the Eucharist.

More so than anything else, the Eucharist is at the center of many people’s lives and prayers. While it draws upon the insights of various scripture scholars, theologians, and church teachings, it also contains Rolheiser’s own personal reflections. Perfect for the Catholic market and the author’s established readership, it has been written with an understanding and respect for other Eucharistic denominations, such as Lutheran, Episcopalian, Methodist, and many Presbyterian churches.
