-Missy Buchanan, author of "Talking with God in Old Age"  

"Pray. Act. Pray Again" embraces a fresh approach to spiritual discipline. Though wonderfully appropriate for Lent, readers should not limit this book by liturgical season. The authors' approach is the "power of personalized prayer" with an emphasis on building a daily cycle of connecting to Christ. They point to C.S. Lewis' understanding that prayer is also an action requiring an intentional response. There are morning prayers adapted from scripture followed by brief reflective messages, and space for personal reflection. They invite the reader to respond again as a follow-up to the day's reading and prayer. "Pray. Act. Pray Again" promotes spiritual wellness that can only come through an intimate walk with God.

Dee, reader.

Pray, Act and Pray Again is a wonderful tool for staying connected to God and your own values. By meditating on scripture and personalizing it to meet your daily needs, it is the basis for self study as well as assessment. Sometimes we think we live one way, but in retrospect our thoughts do not always match our actions. The journaling required in this book helps us to follow-up with our intentions. For me, I pray, act and sometimes don't look back to see if my actions truly were in line with my beliefs and truly lead me to my intentions. This assessment tool includes a section for review. By reflecting back on the day I am held accountable and this keeps me honest, humble, and working towards a better life. In addition, it does not require too much time, and if I am pushed for time, I often reflect on the previous day in the morning. If everyone did this, the world would be a more peaceful place. I am grateful for this tool.
