A String & A Prayer

This is a wonderful instructional and informative book on how to make prayer beads, history of prayer beads, the different styles of prayer beads, prayers to use with your prayer beads, accompanied by helpful illustrations. This spiritual and well written little book is jam packed with information that I found helpful when I went to make my own string of prayer beads.

Using this book as a guide I was able to find the right colors to use, the right number of beads to use and even what type of amulet to use at the end and why. This was a fabulous experience that left me feeling that I had made something very unique to me and very special. I see my prayer beads as a new friend that I plan on using everyday in my meditation.
The thing I love most about this book was that the authors were able to explain this topic to me and give me different examples of how religions have used these beads without pushing any one belief. It was so refreshing to just feel supported in my spiritual search and not forced to go anywhere particular.

I would recommend this wonderful delight to spiritual crafters and seekers everywhere, who are looking for ways to feel more centered and connected in their contact with Spirit. Well Done !!
