                                      “This gem of a book invites the reader to pray in ways old and new,
    including everything from music and gardening to television shows. The foundational
    unity of Kristen Johnson Ingram's vision expresses itself in a wondrous diversity
    of practice that invites us to savor prayer, and life, in all its variety.” —Mary
    Earle, author of Beginning Again                   “For years,
      Kristen Ingram has been a thoughtful, imaginative, and faithful guide to
      the life of the Spirit. Here once again she invites us into the adventure
    of prayer with the wisdom of a true elder. She is the best spiritual director,
    for she knows that it is in the dirt of our daily life that we discover the
    dust of God's glory.”  —The Very
    Rev. Peter Eaton, Dean of St. John's Cathedral, Denver, Colorado                   “Such fun! Such wisdom! Such holiness! This book is a prayer. Read it,
    pray it, live it. Your life can become a prayer.”  —Donna
    Fletcher Crow, author of Seasons of Prayer: Rediscovering Classic Prayers Through the
    Christian Calendar                   “Making contact with the Creator of the universe is no small thing.
    But for Kristen Ingram, who has the audacity to believe, experiencing God through
    prayer is as natural as breathing. And in this book, she's shown the rest of
    us how it's done.”  —Kathleen Stephens, editor, Upper Room Resource
    Development                   “Kristen
      Ingram is an incarnational contemplative after my own heart. She expands
      our understanding of prayer and grounds it in the human body and
    the body of the earth where the Word Made Flesh mercifully chose to dwell among
    us.”  —  Mother Tessa Bielecki, director of
    the Spiritual Life Institute, Crestone, Colorado, and author of Teresa of Avila: Ecstasy and Common Sense.
