Supports all faith walks

I have moved from my orthodox Christian upbringing to more of an interfaith comtemplative approach to my spiritual path now, but Gary Weaver's book of prayers, GENTLE WORDS IN A RAGING STORM, still speaks deeply to me. His unfailing, faithful hope in the midst of the trials and troubles of this human life offers me support and a means of prayerful expression for my journey. The beauty and depth of feeling of his words offers delight to my soul. Ann Ladd, psychotherapist

Prayerful eloquence

Especially for those of us whose gifts do not include well-articulated prayer, this book offers beautifully phrased, eloquent prayers to use in private, with family, or in front of a congregation. After reading them, you'll think, "Yes--that's what I want to say."
