Christians worldwide have been blessing themselves with the sign
of the cross for centuries. But few who use this simple, familiar
gesture know its impact as a powerful prayer. Author Bert Ghezzi

teachings, and personal experience, Ghezzi encourages people to

prayer and guides Christians to a renewed experience of God.
