Prayer is an ancient and simple way to prepare yourself for grace,
or love, and to learn to recognize it when it comes. Even the
briefest "grace" spoken before dinner offers its time-honored
wisdom. Yet in spite of hundreds of traditions and teachings and
books about prayer, millions of Americans have become ambivalent
about it. They are unsure how, when, where, and even why they might
pray, afraid they'll do it wrong, or worried that they won't be
heard.
Writing in the beautiful, funny, honest narrative style that moved
and inspired readers of her first book, "Here If You Need Me, "Kate
Braestrup explains what prayer is and the many ways we can pray.
With an approach that is both personal and inclusive, "Beginner's
Grace "is a new kind of prayer book. Even if you don't pray and
don't consider yourself religious, there's room in this book for
you. In these pages, Braestrup explains how and why the practice of
prayer can open a space in our busy lives for mindfulness,
gratitude, contentment, and a wider compassion toward others.
Inspired by her work as a chaplain, Braestrup includes many
examples of prayers to draw from--beginning with grace, a brief
prayer of thanks. She provides clear models and practical
suggestions for making your own and your family's prayers
meaningful and satisfying, and offers prayers for situations in
which words might fail: times of anxiety, helplessness, or grief.
And she invites you to explore forms of prayer that extend into the
wider community, including prayer with and for people we don't like
or with whom we disagree.
A welcoming modern guide to the simplest, most effective way to
satisfy a universal spiritual hunger, "Beginner's Grace "is for the
religious and nonreligious and even irreligious in its generous,
good-humored approach to spirituality. With its insight and warmth,
"Beginner's Grace "is sure to become a spiritual touchstone for
people of all faiths
