Places People Pray

Inspired by author Karen Appleby's childhood experiences and new insights gained from a recent trip to Italy she finally feels comfortable and blessed in her prayer life. Even though she served in ministry professionally for thirty years until her retirement and considers herself a spiritual person prayer had seemed a mystery. Karen firmly believes that there are many people who struggle with prayer as well. Through a creative structure of contemplative writing photography scripture spiritual-guiding questions and an opportunity for the reader to journal Reverend Appleby leads readers through a journey on a variety of themes centered on prayer including the presence of God places of rest nature forgiveness community revelations communion blessing and thanksgiving just to name a few. We believe that readers interested in deepening their prayer life will find this book helpful and hopefully inspire them to practice prayer in new ways and new places.
