Editorial Reviews

Product Description

My whole life, in one sense, he has been an experiment in how to be a portable sanctuary," writes Richard Foster, "learning to practice the presence of God in the midst of the stresses and strains of contemporary life."

So begins Foster's most personal work yet, a book of prayers that seek to lead us to experience "the reality of God in the midst of going to work and raising kids and cleaning house and paying the bills."

Drawing on the structure of his awardwinning Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home, Foster presents this collection of prayers according to the three aspects of the human journey: looking inward to the heart, reaching upward toward God, and moving outward to care for others. These prayers speak to moments in our days and events in our lives.

Simply and powerfully expressing such basic human experiences as wonder, stillness, the loneliness of anonymity, and the search for faith, Foster encourages us to explore the transformative power of prayer that draws us into the love of God and gives Christian community its life. Longtime Foster readers and newcomers alike will cherish this rich and thoroughly contemporary book from one of our most respected spirtual leaders.


From the Publisher

From the bestselling author of Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home. A beautiful gift book of prayers that nurture a deep and ongoing dialogue with God in the midst of our hectic lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars A rich collection of prayers to speak, and listen, to God, January 11, 1999
By A Customer
A rich collection of prayers from a variety of sources, including some of Foster's own. Periodically the prayers seem abstracted from my own life (though this is to be expected, I suppose, as they reflect prayers especially from Foster's heart), but mostly the prayers in this book are inspiring, deepening, and give words through which one can speak, and listen, to God. I've especially appreciated taking a particular prayer, memorizing it, and reflecting on it with God over the course of several days. Several of the prayers became life-changing through God's tender touch in those times. I actually lost my first copy. Purchasing a secon copy is well worth it. An excellent and rewarding book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Felt prayers, January 25, 2004
By torowan (Tangará da Serra (MT) Brazil) - See all my reviews
Foster offers up in this work a heart-felt collection of prayers. He includes sources from quite the breadth of traditions, but does stay within the broad bounds of Christianity.

People should look in this book for expressions of a soul's feeling rather than any rationale as to how one should pray. It seems to me the focus of this collection is how we want to approach God, rather than be concerned with how God wants to be approached. The ecumenical reader will likely appreciate this book more than anyone who has an appreciation for thought-out Biblical doctrine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, prayers for every occasion!, November 8, 2001
Life's journey is described in this book in great detail. Any problem one could have is described at length in this book, also good times for praise. Poetry, Bible verses and other prayers make this book a delight and a pick-up for those sad, lonely times or the times where praise is appropriate. Wonderful!
