Melody Beattie
Hazelden, 1990
Taking Care of Ourselves
A decade or so ago a friend who was going through a rough patch in her life had a therapist who highly recommended this book of meditations. I happened to be in Barnes and Noble with her when she bought Melody Beattie's book, and after perusing a few of the passages, I bought one for myself. What a difference reading The Language of Letting Go made (and continues to make) in my life.
I've ...

The Divine Hours: Prayers for Autumn and Wintertime 9 reviews
Phyllis Tickle

Beautiful Collection of Daily Prayers
Phyllis Tickle has done all of us a tremendous service by updating the traditional prayer book format. Her compilations (This is one of three seasonally targetted volumes) take the best of volumes like the Book of Common Prayer and instead of making the reader flip to four or five various sections for each prayer time -- she collects them all in order on one page. Genius!

To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings27 reviews
John O'Donohue
Doubleday, 2008
Love this Book
I absolutely LOVE this book! My husband & I are planning for a family, when I got this book in the mail I opened randomly to a page somewhere in the middle and magically turned right to the blessing for "The Mother-To-Be"! So amazing! My yoga instructor reads us passages from this book sometimes (how I heard about it) and everytime she does, the peaceful, blessed effect is palpable.

Prayers That Rout Demons15 reviews
John Eckhardt
Charisma House, 2008
Prayers that Rout Demons
This book is an excellent reference for prayers/scripture verses on a variety topics that plague all of us as human beings. There is an ongoing battle for the souls of all mankind being waged by the forces of darkness against the forces of light, and this gives true "prayer warriors" some additional weaponry to be used in that fight on the side of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and against a ...

Powers UnKnown
I sent this to my boyfriend who is not at all religious but he tolerated it for my sake- after he read this book he told me that he has a new understanding of the power of prayer and wants to go to church for himself and for me! How POWERFUL is that!

Hope for all life's trials
I was in a very dark, depressed in my life when I picked up this book. Immediately, the dark began lifting and hope settled in. Since then, I have bought and given this book to over 30 people who were struggling with life's hurts, disappointments and tragedies. They too, were able to gain a greater hope from God who desires to be our strength and comfort through every aspect of life. I am right ...

Christian Prayer: The Liturgy of the Hours32 reviews
Catholic Book Publishing Co
Catholic Book Publishing Company, 1999
Not just for priests and nuns
I had been looking for a way to add to my prayer collection and this is a wonderful way to do it. It is a little confusing at first but with the help of the INCLUDED St. Joseph's guide I'm finding my way around this lovely book. Do not bother buying a separate St. Joseph's guide because one is included in the box. Don't be discouraged by the confusing layout at first. It will make sense very soon ...

Worth Much, Much More
These prayers and devotions are wonderfully written. Passionate and thought provoking. Many phrases will remind you of scripture. I read them over and over and discover new morsels to digest. I have given copies to my friends. I carry it right next to my Bible.

Prayers That Avail Much: Three Bestselling Works Complete in One Volume, 25th Anniversary Leather Burgundy ...34 reviews
Germaine Copeland
Harrison House, 2005
PRAY AND FEEL THE HOLY TRINITY MOVE
I'm at a loss for words on this prayer book. You have to read these prayers in the Holy Spirit. If you have doubt, this prayer book is useless to you - and God, Jesus, Holy Spirit will be that much farther away from you.
Thank God and you Germaine Copeland. :)

Devotions for a Sacred Marriage
This book is a great way to spend some time together with your spouse to develop a more God-centered marriage. It has brought new perspectives and views on issues that we wouldn't know otherwise (on our own). Definetly would recomend as a couple's activity. The devotions are short and sweet, perfect for a once-a-week study.

His Princess: Love Letters from Your King (His Princess)27 reviews
Sheri Rose Shepherd
Multnomah Books, 2004
It made our Retreat a Hit!
We chose this book as a foundation for our Women's Retreat. Not only was the theme a springboard for our speakers and breakout sessions, it added inspiration for the treats and decorations. We were pampered as Princesses and we found out how much our Daddy, The King adores us! Low self-esteem is a huge problem for many women, and it was an important issue to tackle. I'm so glad we went back ...

Our Sunday Visitor, 2004
Mice at Mass?!
With grace and charm, Gortler and Piscitelli once again draw preschoolers into the heart of the Catholic faith. This book is a bit more (and necessarily so) complex than their earlier books for young people, Little Acts of Grace and Just Like Mary.
I would suggest beginning with Little Acts of Grace, moving onto Just Like Mary, and then reading The Mass Book for Children. Then pray that ...
