I bought this book for my nephew who is battling cancer. There are very special prayers in this book; one was particulary applicable to his situation. I marked the page of the book containing the prayer most pertinent to him. He was extremely touched by the book and, I hope it brought him a measure of spirituality that he hadn't felt before. The book is very comforting and very beautiful. I am getting a copy for myself so he and I can discuss the prayers when he is up to it. I wanted him to have something to hang onto when times are rough. I think he has been helped by this book, and so have I.

This is an excellent gift for people who are very spiritual or people who have no spiritual underpinnings. The illustrations are enchanting, and the prayers are what I've always wanted to say to God, but was just never able to.

My family recently suffered the loss of two small children ... one to illness, the other to a tragic accident. This book contains so many uplifting and healing prayers; I bought one for everyone in the family who has been questioning 'why us?', including one for myself. This is a gem that will be truly cherished for a lifetime.

The prayers go right to the heart of many of our most pressing concerns. Each page stimulates deep reflection, and for me, heartfelt moments with God. The illuminations are not the gaudy variety but rather subtly complement the prayers, inviting additional reflection. Inspiring prayers in an inspiring format. Michael Pressley

Beautiful design, but little substance. The prayers seemed to be aimed at self-motivation, and not necessarily at seeking communication with God. I would instead recommend "The Prayers of Kierkegaard" for a deliberative, thought provoking, and moving set of prayers.

Don't settle for a little "g" god, who is namelessand avoids mention of Jesus Christ. Buyer beware...
