Sarah Bessey is one of my favorite Christian writers currently, but I was on the fence about getting this book on prayer, because I just wasn't sure I'd use it. I always feel a little blah about my prayer life. However one of best friends who has a knack getting gifts you didn't even know how much you wanted, went ahead and ordered it for me, and she was spot on.

I suspect most reviews of this book will be very personal. If you're living in faith deconstruction spaces, the thoughtful collection Bessey has put forth will be a welcome tool to assist you on your path, wherever it may lead. She purposely includes a variety of voices across the spectrum of Christian faith communities, races, genders, and sexual orientations so that those searching for diverse voices will find what they're looking for.

No one makes space for restful restorative contemplation like an Enneagram 9 and Bessey is the 9-est of 9s.

Lovely collection of prayers and reflections—authentic and vulnerable, speaking hard truths and full feelings.

Some really wonderful prayers and meditations in this one. I am quite sure I’ll come back to them again and again.

I mean, sure I curated and edited it but that's not (the main reason) why! These prayers are such a gift for this moment in time - honest, real, hopeful, imaginative, and permission-giving language for the prayer circle we need right now. Grateful to be part of it.
