In Times Like These: How We Pray
A wide variety of individuals tell stories of how they pray, or how they began or stopped praying, or how prayer saved their lives. Each story is unique and compelling; no one model fits all. The authors come from diiferent walks of life; a military chaplain, a bishop, a film maker, a religous commentator, a muslim physican, an icon painter, an illustrator, and the mother of a gay son. Writers include Martin Marty, Norman Mailer, Phyllis Tickle, Nora Gallagher, Frederick Buechner, Allen Jones, and Harvey Cox.
