We Have a Book Cover!

We have a book cover! 

Phaedra and I are so pleased to see what the amazing designers at IVP came up with and we think it beautifully reflects both the contents and the hopes for this book, “Prayers for the Pilgrimage: A Book of Collects for All of Life.”

The book includes twenty-two original watercolor paintings by Phaedra and over three hundred prayers by myself. Arranged according to categories, such as Joy and Sorrow, Virtues and Vices, Public Life and Mundane Life, along with Nature, Children's, and Celtic prayers, among others, it contains all sorts of prayers:

-       for Monday ("Moon's Day")

-       for Sanity on Christmas Eve for Frazzled Parents

-       for a Mid-Life Crisis

-       for Those Who Struggled with Mental Health

-       For the Triple Power of Joy

-       For Being Mad at God

-       For Minding Your Own Business

-       for Grocers

-       For a Day That’s Going Only Wrong

-       for Taking a Test

-       for Bleary-Eyed Parents

-       for a Grumpy Mood

-       for Driving Through Traffic

-       for Victims of War

-       For Janitors and Cleaners

-       for a Bad Patch in a Marriage

-       for Making Broth

-       For the Political Tempests of our World

-       for Not Being Easily Angered Towards Oneself

-       for Cynics and Skeptics

-       for Being a Hot Mess Before God

-       For Letting Go of all the Woulda, Coulda, Shouldas

-       for Green Spaces

-       for a Miserably Hot Day

-       for Waking Up on the Wrong Side of the Bed

-       for the Nobodies of the World
