"Prayer is a hard topic for most of us modern folk, and we have
little place to talk about it. My own first conversation partners
were the great ancient teachers, the Abbas and Ammas of the
Egyptian desert...These men and women have been urging me for
nearly thirty years to pray and to seek healing for the wounds of
my heart I carry from childhood, from my own temperament, from my
culture, even the culture of my church. They have also urged me all
along to write about what I have learned from them and from my own
experience, for, as they tell us, nothing, neither the most
wonderful nor the most humiliating thing we are given as
Christians, is ever given for ourselves alone...The chapters that
follow are in the form of letters to a friend. My intention, of
course, is that you, the reader, understand yourself to be the
friend to whom I am writing..." --excerpted from the author's
Preface
"What a wonderful example of spiritual guidance through letters
Out of her own rich experience and struggle and scholarship Roberta
Bondi speaks about prayer as one who knows. Those who have a lot of
questions about experience of God in everyday life will not want to
miss reading In Ordinary Time." --E. Glenn Hinson, Baptist
Theological Seminary at Richmond, Richmond, Virginia
