“This gem of a book invites the reader to pray in ways old and new,
including everything from music and gardening to television shows. The foundational
unity of Kristen Johnson Ingram's vision expresses itself in a wondrous diversity
of practice that invites us to savor prayer, and life, in all its variety.” —Mary
Earle, author of Beginning Again “For years,
Kristen Ingram has been a thoughtful, imaginative, and faithful guide to
the life of the Spirit. Here once again she invites us into the adventure
of prayer with the wisdom of a true elder. She is the best spiritual director,
for she knows that it is in the dirt of our daily life that we discover the
dust of God's glory.” —The Very
Rev. Peter Eaton, Dean of St. John's Cathedral, Denver, Colorado “Such fun! Such wisdom! Such holiness! This book is a prayer. Read it,
pray it, live it. Your life can become a prayer.” —Donna
Fletcher Crow, author of Seasons of Prayer: Rediscovering Classic Prayers Through the
Christian Calendar “Making contact with the Creator of the universe is no small thing.
But for Kristen Ingram, who has the audacity to believe, experiencing God through
prayer is as natural as breathing. And in this book, she's shown the rest of
us how it's done.” —Kathleen Stephens, editor, Upper Room Resource
Development “Kristen
Ingram is an incarnational contemplative after my own heart. She expands
our understanding of prayer and grounds it in the human body and
the body of the earth where the Word Made Flesh mercifully chose to dwell among
us.” — Mother Tessa Bielecki, director of
the Spiritual Life Institute, Crestone, Colorado, and author of Teresa of Avila: Ecstasy and Common Sense.
