A wonderful little "bathroom" book with over 300 pages of prayers and blessings from Muslim, Zen, American Indian and East African prayers to bible verses; quotes from Martin Luther and Martin Luther King, excerpts from books (Color Purple) and plays (Shakespeare). A great stocking stuffer.

This book includes some of the most beautiful ruminations on faith and prayer I've ever heard. It combines the work of theologians and holy people with poets, both modern and ancient. Some of the most touching entries have inspired me to find a book of poetry by its author... I give this book as a gift all the time. It has also helped me in moments of wavering faith... I'm endlessly grateful for this book!

These are prayers and devotionals that come from all sorts of religions and from many corners of the world.

I keep it in my office for daily stress relieve, it helps me get grounded when stuff gets crazy during the work day, and to keep me sane and conected with the Divine all day.

Love it!

there are prayers here for everyone, and I think everyone will end up praying everything! Powerful in their subtlety, these prayers are especially effective in their: 1) sincerity by speaking directly from the heart and, 2)ability to touch by latching on directly to the heart. Poetry, prose, song, and scripture combine in a collage of soul-illumination -- 5 stars!

This is a great book. It reminds one that prayer can be simple and powerful. While I don't consider myself a very religious person, I found this book to be comforting and inspirational. I am going to order several more as gifts for friends during the holiday season.

Bought this for my grandfather. He said he loved it, he has quite a collection of these now. I wouldnt mind having a collection of my own. People like these little gifts and they're thoughtful!

David Schiller may think that there are a million ways to God but God sais there is only one. I wonder what the use of Jesus sacrifice was if one can enter heaven through Allah or Buddah. None.And that is because there is no other way to eternal life exept through Jesus Christ. This book can only lead a person away from the truth and into deception. Jesus died to take our sins away so that we can come clean before God and so that when God sees us He will see Jesus in us, thus giving us the right to enter heaven without blemish. Believe in Jesus and you shall be saved. God bless you.
