Cries from the Heart is written by someone who knows heartache and what life is like on the other side. By teaching us to pray, and how to trust prayer, Arnold embraces our despair and restores our confidence. --Rev. Donna Schaper, author, Shelter for the Spiritually Homeless
Cries from the Heart offers a simple but profound gift--a word of hope. --John Dear, SJ, author, Living Peace
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. --Alex J. Brunett, Archbishop Emeritus of Seattle.
2. Cries from the Heart is nourishment for the soul, plain and simple. Gliding effortlessly and powerfully between timeless principles and timely personal applications of those principles, Arnold reminds us that our won lives are God's Word made flesh, again and gain, and again. Even in the worst imaginable circumstances, each of us can choose to turn to God in sincere prayer and suffer together with Him rather than alone. What I always admire about Arnold's writing is that he does not pander to our desire to escape suffering, but rather helps us to mine the spiritual gold within the depths of it. -- --Bo Lozoff, Director, The Human Kindness Foundation.

Cries from the Heart takes us deep into the inner recesses of life the spiritual struggle of prayer and faith. Because it touches the cries of all our hearts-cries for meaning, love, peace and compassion-and leads us further along to the God of life, it offers a simple but profound gift, a word of hope. --John Dear, Fellowship of Reconciliation
