Nice little prayers

[Meredith · Rating 4 out of 5]

A meditative book, as it should be. By sharing prayers and pictures across cultures and time, one experiences that sense of connection. That we are all children of G-d, looking to thank and praise, morn and question, celebrate and rejoice.

This coffee table book of prayers from the World's religions is summarized by this quote from the Dalai Lama, "Every major religion of the world has similar ideas of love, the same goal of benefiting humanity through spiritual practice, and the same effect of making their followers into better human beings."
