The Little Book of Prayers

Description

The perfect gift for seekers, the curious, and the spiritually hungry, The Little Book of Prayers is a new kind of prayer book in a traditional prayer book–like format.

Gathered from holy books and prayer books, from songs and spirituals, spoken traditions and poets, it is an unexpectedly approachable collection of common and uncommon prayers from around the world. The entries are chosen for their depth of feeling, beauty of expression, spiritual intensity, and sense of the universal. The book is organized into broad categories of praise, entreaty, contemplation, mourning, and grace; and two indexes—one by authorship, and the other by topic—make it immediately accessible.
