Calm the Soul: A Book of Simple Wisdom and Prayer

by The Poor Clares

Using simple prayer ideas and meditations, the Poor Clares teach that success lies in complete trust in God 

The Poor Clares look at ways prayer can incorporate into everyday life. They recognize that in today's busy world, many people neglect their souls and focus instead on the mind and body. In direct contrast to those fixated on spectacular results, appearances, control, and a tireless craving for success, the Poor Clares instead try to live life as Jesus teaches in the bible. Using their simple prayer ideas and meditations, everyone can learn to speak to God in a direct way to bring Him to their everyday lives.

A lovely book of prayers for many different needs. I think my favorite was on page 165. "For it was you who created my being, knit me together in my mother's womb. I thank You for the wonder of my being." - Psalm 138/139:13-14.

This would make a perfect gift. It is the kind of book you keep on your nightstand.
