Prayers: No Experience Necessary blends together a seeking voice and a yearning spirit to create a collection of poetic prayers that offer up the human side of a conversation with God. Jo Therese Fahres, whose life of faith finds its pattern and guide in the ways that Sts. Francis and Clare of Assisi lived out their spiritual gifts, has crafted a book of prayers that anyone-regardless of where he or she has journeyed in a walk with God-can use both to pray and to inspire new and personal prayers.The brief and creatively worded entries in this collection use vibrant imagery to depict the life one lives in the presence of God, so that, for instance, a prayer can begin by saying, 'O God of the Dance, / embrace me in your arms and twirl me / round and round.' A Catholic sensibility runs through the prayers, yet Christians of all traditions and all who seek God will find in Prayer: No Experience Necessary an approachable and helpful partner in prayer.If you are a seeker, someone who knows a hunger for a more fulfilling relationship with God, or if you enjoy experiencing poetry and creative imagery that foster more intense and honest conversation, then Prayers: No Experience Necessary will provide you with a satisfying exploration of the conversations between the divine and the human realms.

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular.
