A lifetime of priestly ministry poured into prose — and another lifetime of editorial devotion brought to bear in shaping it. Together, Fr. Robert Hamm and Fr. Dominic Totaro have produced a work of enduring spiritual value
Author • Jesuit Priest • Missionary
Fr. Robert Hamm, S.J. is a Jesuit priest whose ministry has spanned continents —
including decades of missionary work in Benin City, Nigeria, where he celebrated Mass at
Faith House, a home for twelve physically and mentally disadvantaged men.
Over fifty years of priesthood, Fr. Hamm developed a rich practice of written prayer:
composing original renditions of the Psalms, contemplative reflections on the Gospels,
Ignatian retreat meditations, and homilies for the great feasts of the liturgical year.
God's Cross Fire Love gathers this lifetime of writing into a single volume — a
testament to a faith that is both deeply personal and richly theological.

"The author writes from a lifetime of encounter with God. The editor ensures that encounter reaches you — the reader — intact, clear, and alive."
”No prayer book that I know of is like God's Crossfire-Love. Through the way in which Father Hamm brings the reader into the scripture, prayers seem alive and personal. His insights helped me listen to God's voice in my life. This book is not for retreatants only; it's for anyone desiring to enhance their spiritual journey.
The simplicity and accessibility of Father Hamm's prayers to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius were what came as most striking to me. The homilies and prayers are humble and clearly written, but have great theological depth. They are like an invitation to sit and chat with God. A book that I go back to many times for quiet contemplation.
Father Hamm's vision of the Trinity as God's Crossfire-Love is strong and comforting. His writing conveys the simplicity and attentiveness that he lived by. I particularly admired his homilies on how he related Scripture to the liturgical year, thus making prayer a part of daily life. This book is a gift... a gift that lives on after him.
