Beginner's Grace Braestrup delivers a welcoming, non-denominational guide to prayer--with examples of how, when, where to pray, individually or as a family. Full description
"Braestrup is astute, entertaining, and scholarly in suggesting prayers from myriad faiths that have served countless generations, including this one. There are prayers for almost every occasion and circumstance: shared meals, birth, death and grief, old age, bedtime for anxious children, safety for those facing daily occupational hazards, even romantic intentions. She invites people to make up their own prayers as she includes tales of frayed nerves, abiding love, and opting for generosity in settings as mundane as the Shop 'N Save. This confirms the comfort and grace afforded by prayer and its power to reveal the beauty of life, warts and all. Amen." -Booklist
"What books about prayer need most is more authors like Kate Braestrup. There's no false piety here, nor is there much heady analysis either. Instead, there is an exquisitely informative, seductive, largely autobiographical, but no-holds-barred frank, presentation of one chaplain's own engagement with prayer." -- Phyllis Tickle, author of The Great Emergence
