These prayers have changed my life

I have always struggled with how to pray. This book has helped me more than any other. Kay Bessler Northcutt's rich and vital images have deepened my understanding of what prayer can mean. She has given me language for feelings that I wasn't sure how to express. Her vocabulary is one of gratitude and wonder.

My favorite book of prayers.

This thoughtful and creative collection of prayers follows the church year. Powerful,insightful, unconventional images fuel the prayers, week after week. Prophetic and pastoral, Ms. Bessler Northcutt's voice challenges and comforts.

A book of beautiful prayers

This small volume offers a stirring collection of prayers. Kay Bessler Northcutt's use of language and imagery is amazing. The prayers in this book correspond to the church year, and make for delightful devotional reading. As the pastor of a church, I can also recommend these beautifully written prayers as a resource for other ministers and worship leaders.
