This is a delightful collection of Christian mediations and prayers that will help the reader encounter God and His love in a variety of situations, whether in good times or bad and in particular in despair, loneliness, rejection, or imminent death. These are very personal and intimate reflections, in a variety of styles both Western and Eastern, with a major focus on finding hope and comfort in suffering and finding peace by resting in God's presence. This book would make an ideal gift.
