4.0 out of 5 stars For the faint of heart..., October 25, 1999

By A Customer

The ritual of prayer is as old as man. We all have our own words, we recite bible prayer and dictated prayers from various religions. But Loder's Guerillas is truly a refreshing collage of prayers that are contemporary and yet soulful. They direct our minds, but give us plenty of room to make the prayer our own thought. For those who shy away from organized religion or who are faint of heart in searching for the right prayer, Loder's book is a kind companion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching God With Words, September 1, 2000

By A Customer

Ted Loder can write, no doubt about it. But with Guerrillas, the Spirit speaks through him loudly and clearly. This book of prayers is unlike any other I have ever read. Mr. Loder's prayers give us permission to speak as freely to our God as we would like, to use our weak and imperfect selves to achieve great things. Your heart and soul will never be the same once you have used this book. And do use it. It will help those who have forgotten how to talk to God, to once again do so. It will guide those who never tried to talk with God, to make a stab at it. Those who are more comfortable will traditional prayer styles will find these prayers a challenge. But what would life be without a challenge?

5.0 out of 5 stars Prayers for the real you., March 2, 1999

By A Customer

Gut-wrenching, soul-searching, heartfelt, uplifting, calming...the prayers in this book are all that and more. They are written in a simple honest language with an easy flow to them. No matter who you are there are at least several prayers that will deeply touch the real you and decidedly affect your relationship with God. There are prayers for all occasions with titles like "Sometimes It Just Seems to be Too Much", "Thank you for Each Moment", and "Pry Me Off Dead Center". I have never read a book of prayers before that had so many that personally touched me.
