And When We Pray (Suggestions and Prayers for Living in Spirit)

This book offers an account about how to manage the challenges and the opportunities of life through daily prayer. The outstanding feature of And When We Pray, is that the author takes the reader along with her, on her journey through life's upheavals and challenges; self-doubt and self-evaluation; harsh self-assessment and discovery; these experiences forced her to look internally and seek solace and guidance by using poignant descriptions of her fears, doubts and needs -- prayers. The result is a series of short prayers that target specific life's circumstances -- feelings of loneliness, accomplishment, peace and calm, disappointment and uncertainty. The prayers that she writes are moving, genuine, and uplifting; they make you laugh but also make you feel uneasy and vulnerable; they validate some of your more selfish thoughts - thoughts that we all experience in prayer when we are down. In the end, And When We Pray, is a moving account of how we can achieve our authentic self, through the medium of prayer.
