Are You Running With Me, Jesus?
Boyd’s prayers are in a conversational tone, centered upon Jesus Christ as a compassionate Savior to whom one can pray about anything, lofty or trivial. A true devotional classic, highly recommended for all Christians. (The Bookwatch)At once informal and literate, these prayers are also deeply personal. . . . Their eloquence comes from the personal struggle they contain—a struggle to believe, to keep going, a spiritual contest that is agonized, courageous and not always won. . . . A very moving book. (Eliot Fremont-SmithThe New York Times)Malcolm Boyd has written a book which captures the spirit of our age and speaks to our times. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)Boyd is a prophet for our times. All that is required of the reader is the ability to read—and the rudiments of a conscience. (The Christian Century)The prayers are very personal, very modern, sometimes poetic. They talk about sex and the bomb and civil rights and the movies and all the things that bug Malcolm Boyd and the alienated generation that has adopted him as its spokesman. (Review Of Higher Education)Malcolm Boyd really can write a prayer—he is to prayer what Shakespeare is to the sonnet. (Frank Deford)This is prayer in the raw, with the last varnish gone—human life, in all its warmth and lovelessness, laid bare before God. (Bishop John A. T. Robinson, Author ofHonest to God)
