Overview

"Bridge to the Sacred: A Collection of Interfaith Prayers" presents 200 prayers and meditations for daily renewal chosen from faiths around the globe … prayers from across the centuries seeking to encourage the Divine in our human world. The prayers are organized by everyday concerns — 40 topics from Adversity to Wisdom — and range from brief mantras to mini-homilies, from ancient chants to modern encomiums.

Description
Most of us, no matter what our denominational upbringing, first know prayer as a means of asking favor, a request for supernatural intervention in our lives and in the course of human history. Yet prayer is more than mere supplication, more than giving thanks, more than celebrating and expressing passion. It is the closest thing to attaining genuine face-time with an invisible divinity, the best way we know to foster a direct and intimate relationship with the Divine — a relationship we hope will lead to our transformation into a more perfect embodiment of that divinity during our time on this earth.
