A book for when our hearts need the words to pray.
Sometimes we need words to help us pray. I pray every Sunday in a hospital chapel and then share those prayers at 300wordsaday.com Now, a year of those prayers are gathered in “God. We Need You”: A Year of Prayer in a Hospital Chapel. Buy it now in paperback or on Kindle.

Thanks for stopping by.
