Prayer & You Wit & Wisdom From Crabby Mystic

Can a swear be a prayer? The Crabby Mystic has the answer! With a unique voice, Sr. Mary Lea makes prayer approachable for both those new to prayer and veterans. She directly approaches the pray-er with practical advice, but cautions the reader that "it is not an instructional course on prayer, but rather a taster on prayer, a place to get your feet wet. It could also be called a starter kit although it has no parts, no how-to directions, just a random set of suggestions on prayer."

The Crabby Mystic makes you laugh with chapter headings like "Bargain Basement Prayer" and "Hard Little Pew, I Love You!" Even as you chuckle at her wit, she gives recommendations that will help the beginning or struggling pray-er start communicating with God more readily.

Whether you have never prayed before or want to become a better pray-er, Sr. Mary Lea will guide you towards a fulfilling prayer life. Let Prayer and You nudge you towards a deeper and more personal relationship with God.

Afraid of praying? Confused about how to pray? Wondering where to begin?

Step away from your preconceived notions and prepare yourself to be delighted and challenged in equal measure. Sister Lea Hill raises the bar on prayer books for normal people. Prayer and You is sure to be a book you dog-ear, highlight, share, and, most importantly, put into practice.
