A beautiful, unusual, and most necessary anthology! I stumbled across this book in a Half Price Books store, the lone copy of the title on their shelves. I snatched it up immediately, recognizing its value and uniqueness; it's rare to find works that celebrate the commonalities of Muslim and Christian religious experiences. This would be a wonderful addition to anyone's collection of prayers, and certainly deserves a place in the growing body of interfaith literature.
