More Daily Prayers For Busy People

A companion to the best-selling Daily Prayers for Busy People, this new volume offers a four-week cycle of morning, midday, and evening prayers that are evocative, challenging, and draw on the Bible and passages from other great works of literature. Though composed primarily for personal use, the prayers have a message that sustains one for the whole day and could readily be used by any gathering of faith.

The prayers may be said quickly, but each one provides a rich source for further meditation.
