One Prayer at a Time

A day-by-day path through a year of healing prayer

Prayer is a sacred moment in the secular world. Whether it is a spontaneous expression of thanks, the formal prayer of an established tradition, or the deep, silent expression of Spirit, we have all prayed at some time, in some way.

One Prayer at a Time is a practical guide to integrating prayer comfortably into your daily life. It combines sacred writings from the major religious traditions with more than fifty personal testaments to the power of prayer. With sayings, observations, questions, and simple exercises that offer opportunities for reflection and contemplation, this book expands our understanding of prayer. A section of biblical quotes offers solace and inspiration on specific issues.

Framed by the compassionate and expressive voice of the author, One Prayer at a Time offers a way to understand and accept the challenges and struggles both great and small that we face every day. Whether you are just learning the language of prayer or are experienced in listening to the Divine, this book gives you an immediate voice.
