DESCRIPTION

Life greets us in different ways each day: We experience joy, confusion, doubt and grief. We walk through seasons of loneliness and times of closeness with God, family and friends. Each event-the birth of a new baby, the death of a loved one, the sound of a familiar melody-can be an occasion for prayer. In A Book of Simple Prayers, beloved songwriter Gloria Gaither shares the prayers she has prayed in moments like these. At times questioning, playful, trusting or anxious, this collection of prayer poetry is a medley of honest and open-hearted conversation with God. Gaither's mastery of language and instinct for just the right turn of phrase make it easy to pray along with her, expressing hopes and heartaches to the God who listens.
