This new addition to a deservedly popular series of pocket—sized books (this one is by a popular author, too) contains prayers from a variety of sources to help us cope with a wide range of common actually or potentially troublesome situations, 39 in all. When I dipped into the material for 3 situations I’ve been having to deal with recently, namely unemployment, disability and family bereavement, I found the prayers very helpful, notably ‘Hard Times’, ‘Beatitudes for Disabled People’ and ‘Farewell’. These prayers will keep your own experience in perspective and help you pray with more understanding for others. I recommend this little book.
