Too Busy Not To Pray

by Jo Carr, Carlton R. Young, Austin C. Lovelace

The pages have been written to help meet the devotional needs of young homemakers. Instead of a collection of thoughtful meditations, this is a book of prayer, and of prayers. They are not the traditional prayers of the church, for the most part, but the crying out of us "part-time" Christians who seek something more real. (from the Foreword)

[Bonnie Atkinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perhaps because this taps into my parents' generation (the original was published the year I was born) I appreciate the unapologetic faith of this little poetic journal. I think there's something more, however. Her ability to perceive, to transform the mundane, to consecrate the difficult, to bare her inadequacy, this touched my soul. I loved the prayer on Day 86 (Lord, I am afraid of the dark.) Most of all, I loved her persistent desire to change and be changed, almost a dogged reaching for the better angels of her own nature with a recognition that she'd have to let the devils go. The daily purging sacrifice of it made the book holy to me.

Easy read. makes you think, makes you want to pray

What a beautiful, wonderful book! It is honest, a honesty I need. This is a book not for the first time mom but the busy, in the thick of it, mom.
