Prayer is practical, says Williamson, a way to create a sweeter, more abundant life for ourselves and the people for whom we care. The best-selling author of A Return to Love presents a compilation of contemporary prayers and meditations for people of all faiths, covering such topics as business, friendship, reconciliation, and anger. With the publication of The Healing of America, Williamson becomes a powerful voice for social conscience in American society. While citing the virtual abandonment of social justice as a dominant political theme since the 1960's, Williamson notes historian Arthur Schlesinger's contention that Americans express renewed political interest every thirty years. In this landmark work, Williamson draws plans for the transformation of American political consciousness and the reemergence of powerful citizen involvement in a genuine healing of American society.
Prayer is a powerful force that can lift spirits, guide journeys, and heal the heart.
Illunimanted Prayers is a small volume of spiritual wisdom to bring the power of prayer into our daily lives. Prayerilluminates our souls, and with prayer we can change the world. It is difficult for a picture book of prayer that attempts to fit almost any monotheistic religion to be successful. Williamson's first book for children tries to have some encompassing flavor and, through obvious good intentions, avoids offense. Emma and Mommy say thank you, and ask God for help in dealing with nighttime fears and with Peter, who is a bully because he is sad and scared inside.
