At The Center, St. Placid Priory Newsletter
This is a wonderful collection of writings from diverse voices - some quite surprising - exploring voluntary simplicity as a path to wholeness and abundance and compassion. Practical, prayerful, fun.


Tremendous Resource, says Provident Bookfinder
This book is a tremendous resource...The multitude of prayers here share the feelings, emotions, and concerns of people throughout the past two milleniums. The historical aspect of this book is significant. The prayer expressions go back through the centuries to Jesus Christ. This is a permanent tribute to the interpretation of Jesus by the Christian church. Explanations and comments about many of these praying people further the historical value of the book. One of the best features of the book is the devotional material. These short and meaningful prayers can be helpful in the spiritual lives of many believers. Another plus is the comprehensive index of authors and subject matter...A great volume!
