Customer Reviews

Comfort and challenge

I stumbled on this book in Lexington in a vacation several years ago. It is so uplifting that I also read more than each week's chapter at once and come back to it over and over again. It's one of the few books I moved to Washington from Alaska....

great book

thoroughly enjoyed this. I found all of the daily meditations very insightful and motivational. highly recommended.

A must-have for your nightstand

Back Porch Faith is fabulous. Especially after a trying day, I pick it up and read an essay or two (or 10) and regain my perspective. Many of Prather's conversational essays contemplate our strengths and weaknesses in raising children; Week 35 is one of the most touching. This book is worth the price of admission.
