Prayer

This was a beautifully produced, thoughtful and heartfelt testimony to the personal practice of prayer. The “prayer prompts” were often surprising and original in their wording, but grounded in the timeless wisdom that always means to lead us toward the divine gifts of love and connectedness. The short essays, stories, and meditations were moving and inspiring, making me think about what small epiphanies are to be found in my own everyday life. I found the description of “lectio divina” to be especially helpful. The illustrations brought visual expression to ideas that are difficult to encompass only in words. Though small, this book would lend itself to practice over a long period of time and would unfold differently through each participant. It would be a good starting point for a prayer group or for discussion.
