In the new edition of this American classic, Malcolm Boyd again writes straight from the heart. As fresh, uncompromising, and honest as when it was first published, this twenty-fifth anniversary edition contains more than three dozen new prayers and addresses the threat to our environment, the devastation of AIDS, and our need to live compassionately and responsibly.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The original edition of this collection of brief, prayer-like meditations (1965) became a touchstone symbol of Christian spirituality in its decade and a runaway best seller. In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Father Boyd adds many new prayers, including reflections on AIDS, the homeless, the environment, gays and lesbians, and his experiences at a Zen Buddhist retreat center and at nursing homes. These new sections continue the spirit of the originals, and, in general, are equally effective: A certain earnest aura of the Sixties hovers about the work, but there will be heavy demand for this collection. Recommended for purchase wherever the original version still generates interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best books I've ever read,
By S. M. Brown (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Are you running with me, Jesus?: A spiritual companion for the 1990s (Paperback)
This book is as tremendous in 2002 as it was back in the 1960's. Boyd displays an honesty of faith and integrity that is jarring and refreshing, and shows that one can indeed approach God with all that s/he is and all that s/he feels. This book goes with me wherever I go, and I recommend it to all. I find it especially appropriate for those who carry the name of Christ but often find themselves outside the sanction of the established church. It should be back in print!

A shallow book for a shallow walk,

This review is from: Are You Running With Me, Jesus?: A Spiritual Companion for the 1990s (Paperback)
How can I compare pablum and meat? When I was first given this book back in the '60s, I was a marginal Christian who wasn't interested in knowing how the Savior wanted me to live, so this book was perfect for where I was at the time. Now I've put away childish things and gotten serious about my relationship with the Father, so I seek Him in His word.
