This attractively produced hardback book is a real treat if you love the Book of Proverbs and you want to keep your prayer life fresh. This book gently roams through the Book of Proverbs, chapter by chapter, turning selected passages into imaginative prayers.
The authors, a filmmaker and a songwriter, use their creativity which comes through in the prayers that they have crafted here. They write that: “These prayers are not translations or paraphrases of the text, but rather free verse renderings intended to inspire your conversations with God.”
