Malcolm Boyd illustrates this understanding of the nature of prayer in the prayers collected here. Sometimes startling, sometimes raw, but always fresh and sincere, these prayers lead readers to an understanding of God as intimate, God here and now. Some of these prayers first appeared in Boyd's groundbreaking book, Are You Running with Me, Jesus? Others are from Human like Me, Jesus. Still others are new for this volume.Readers will find themselves nodding in understanding as Boyd exposes his fears and failures, his joys and love. More importantly, however, readers will find a model for expressing themselves -- all of themselves -- to God in new ways. A must-read for anyone looking to broaden what it means to pray.
