Prayers for Hope and Comfort: Reflections, Meditations, and Inspirations

I purchased this book for a young Resident Doctor who took very good care of me. During the course of my treatment we had discussions about prayer and God. I wanted to give her a special gift when our relationship came to a close, so after looking over several possiblities in this category, I ordered two, one for her and one for myself. After receiving the book and reading it, I realized that it not only met but exceeded my expectations. It turned out the be the perfect gift for her and a wonderful addition to my own spiritual library. I truly appreciate how the author took material from all religions. It engenders respect for all of humanity.

Very good collection of words to comfort, help, and ponder. I was very nicely surprised.

A very nice collection of spiritual writings organized by theme. Most of the writings are helpful, some are obscure (not a bad thing), while a very few are a bit mundane. I do recommend it for people who wish to enrich their prayer life and need inspired reading to enhance their spirituality.

I expected a book of prayers and poems that we could read before dinner. These are generally too long for that purpose. Often the theme is too sad for a dinnertime reflective prayer with the family.

received in good condition

couldn't imagine a more lovely and healing book.

I love this book.. I keep it next to my computer and read bits and pieces to get through the bad days.. :)

I really appreciate the variety of sources and views of this and Prayers for Healing another of the author's collections. Like Prayers... this takes time to read and meditate on. It is a very good resource.

This book was a gift for a friend and she tells me she is delighted with it. I read a review and it seems the book is a great companion, with uplifting thoughts and encouragement.
