An Inspired Collection

The prayers are beautifully written. A brief description of the author's life and concerns is included at the back, and that gives these prayers a context that makes them more real. It is the power and/or beauty of these collected prayers that reveal how we have flung out our hearts to God. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a 'voice' with which to pray.
