Customer Reviews
Prayers and graces were received from people of all backgrounds, ages, cultures, religions -- all over the country, people from childhood to their nineties gave Cotner more than she could ever include. Cotner likened the process to being a gardener with a bounty of flowers from which she had to delight to pick a bouquet.
The prayers are not merely mealtime graces, although there is a nice selection of these. Prayers for every time and occasion, even some for no particular occasion, are contained here. From the Sanskit Salutation of the Dawn to prayers of Hannukah and Advent and the four seasons, there are many prayers to choose from here in this wonderful collection.
Some prayers are specifically for children, a nice section in the middle of the text. The words are simple and the meanings plain yet elegant and meaningful. There are traditional and modern graces, Jewish and Native American prayers, musical graces and contemplative prayers.
Included among the original, previously-unpublished prayers are inspirational pieces from traditional liturgies, poets and spiritual persons of the past. William Blake and Helen Keller, Kahlil Gibran and Thomas Aquinas each make appearances here.
This is a wonderful collection, an inspired set of readings for private, family and community devotion.
I had difficulty finding a book of graces: before I found this I had to settle for a children's book of simple graces for mealtimes.
This goes deeper, without forgetting the essentials.
