When Rick Hamlin was rushed to the ER he was immediately admitted
to the ICU. No quick diagnosis was made, and for two weeks the
doctors struggled to keep his body alive as Rick struggled to keep
his faith alive. PRAY FOR ME is the story of one man's spiritual
odyssey to learn how to pray in a new way as healing slowly came
and a medical crisis became a spiritual opportunity--a chance for
Rick to learn he was being called to something new, and to be born
anew. In the end the doctors were never able to diagnose the cause
of his illness, but Rick is convinced that the healing came through
prayer.

Award How can we trust God in the dark? Framed around a nighttime
prayer of Compline, Tish Harrison Warren, author of Liturgy of the
Ordinary, explores themes of human vulnerability, suffering, and
God's seeming absence. When she navigated a time of doubt and loss,
the prayer was grounding for her. She writes that practices of
prayer "gave words to my anxiety and grief and allowed me to
reencounter the doctrines of the church not as tidy little
antidotes for pain, but as a light in darkness, as good news."
Where do we find comfort when we lie awake worrying or weeping in
the night? This book offers a prayerful and frank approach to the
difficulties in our ordinary lives at work, at home, and in a world
filled with uncertainty.
