| In times of sickness or adversity, humans tend to seek comfort and healing from a greater power. We know this quest as prayer; universally it has brought solace and healing to many seekers. For those who lack the words, inspiration, or familiarity with prayer, Maggie Oman has assembled a collection of healing prayers for every day of the year. Included are voices as familiar as Duke Ellington ("Every man prays in his own language, and there is no language that God does not understand."), Bobby McFerrin, and May Sarton, along with voices as reverent as the Chinook Indians, Kahlil Gibran, and Mother Teresa. Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors. Contact us if you are one of them, and wish to change the above description. |

Not only will the beautiful cover of this collection edited by Maggie Oman inspire you but the contents, a selection for each day of the year, will offer comfort, peace, and hope no matter what might be taking place in your life. There are entries written by an African-Ameican Abolitionists in 1863, one by Mary Baker Eddy in that same century, another by the Dalai Lama in our own day and yet another by Marianne Williamson. The entries are so good I find myself using the book each morning and then turning back to it throughout the day. I highly recommend it!

I have used this volume for several years in my personal prayer/meditation practice. I order so many copies because I give it to friends anytime there is a crisis, a health concern or a loss. There are meditation for every religious or philosophical style. ost are beautifully-written and touching. I recommended it highly.

I've loved this book for years. I didn't do it the daily devotional way the book is set up. I read through it and marked the ones that I found especially helpful and comforting. I turned to those when times are tough
I have given a dozen or so of these books to friends and to pastors. I wrote the dates of my favorites in the fly and encouraged them to add their own to the list.
Nearly everyone has told me how helpful the book has been. It's use of prayers from all religions and over hundreds/thousands of yrs helps us to know that our troubles and feelings are not ours alone but have been experienced by others engaged in this experience we call life.
It is really a wonderful treasure when the times are really tough.

I don't usually write reviews but this book of prayers taken from around the world and throughout history is so beautiful and powerfully moving that I had to write to recommend it. Well worth the money - I plan to buy more to give as presents.

I read this book every day. It has enriched my spiritual life tremendously. Now I give it to friends and family. We all have places in our lives and selves that need to be healed-- this book speaks to many of those different dimensions.
