Naomi Levy's To Being Again touched the hearts of readers across all religious traditions and elicited a tremendous outpouring of letters from people who found hope and healing in its prayers and personal stories. Inspired by readers' requests, Levy put together Talking to God, a moving collection of prayers for special occasions and everyday events. Written in a simple, direct style and accompanied by wonderful stories that enhance their messages, the prayers in Talking to God address both the joys and the hardships of contemporary life. There are prayers for facing a new day, realizing one's potential at work, celebrating an anniversary or birthday, and going to sleep at night. And there are prayers for the more extraordinary moments in our lives, from expressions of happiness for a marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth, to words that offer consolation to help us through the sorrow and sadness of illness, loss, and death. At a time when many people are searching for inspiration and connection, Talking to God explains how readers can integrate prayer into their daily lives, encourages them to create their own personal prayers, and shows that talking to God can be as natural, intimate, and comforting as talking to our loved ones. |
