The less people possess of material things, the more they seem to possess of God, according to Louise Perrotta.

They simply describe their daily experience of God and share some of their prayers. Each story is illustrated with beautiful black-and-white photographs.

This review is from: All You Really Need To Know About Prayer You Can Learn From The Poor (Paperback)

This book contains a series of short interviews and biographies of religious workers and their interaction with the poor of the Caribbean. Food for the Poor, a nonprofit organization that serves the poor in the Caribbean, sponsored the project and the author. It is amazing to read that those with the least material goods, worst living conditions, and poor health conditions, can be the most faithful of Christians. They survive by their faith in Jesus and their interaction with him through Prayer. You will certainly be moved by these accounts. It would also make a great resource for a Bible study.

This book showed me how those in extreme poverty and with difficult diseases seem to have the most strong faith in the Lord. I couldn't put the book down. It is selling inexpensively, but it is worth so much more! There are black & white photos, and many thought provoking true stories of people & their trust in the Lord through many kinds of trials. It's selling so inexpensively, try it out! I'm donating my copy to our church library, so others can be moved into a deeper prayer relationship as I have been.
