The best yet.

All of Ted Loder's books of prayers are almost breathtaking to read. The honesty, the clarity of thought,the freshness of language are the hallmarks of his writing. On this volume he goes over the top. The following example from a prayer entitled "Is This What It Means to Be Free?" will serve to intrigue: "Why is the marvel of a molecule of DNA its capacity to blunder into something new when we would have made it perfect, according to our Eden complex, except the molecules blundered their way into us first---or was that your "sort of" plan all the time, the blundering being a nudge toward an intentional choosing through the whole twisting way?"Imagine talking to God in such an honest and compelling way. Loder's God is one I want to know and share with others, for this God cares about EVERYTHING about us, receives our frustrations and meets us in the most extraordinary ways.A wonderful book. Thank you Rev. Loder...again!
