This book looks at those wonders of stonework - the great bell towers known in Ireland as Round Towers' - and sees them not as glimmers for the past but as beacons for the future. They remind us of the call to prayer, and prayer enables us to face the future. And facing into the future with hope helps us to discover in every age, every situation, and in every person that God is already present. Holding the balance between the past and the future is always a delicate task - but this book strikes the right note.
