I have read and reread this book many times and use it in classes with both laity and clergy to explore the many different prayer traditions. Each one of us is different and the short inventory Brown offers is one way to begin exploring those types of prayer that may be a "fit."
Twelve Christian women who are also mothers invite you to share in their spiritual reflections on the joys and trials of being a mother of young children (infants to children not yet enrolled in first grade).

Brown takes this verse as an invitation from Jesus to become a "dancing people." [312]
The closing Benediction is Philippians 4:6-7. "Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and your minds in Christ Jesus."… (altro)
