Cat Psalms: Prayers My Cats Have Taught Me

by Herbert F. Brokering

"Cats help me pray," writes Herbert Brokering. This collection of whimsical, insightful psalm-prayers are based on Brokering's observations of cats he has known throughout his life-farm cats, house cats, alley cats. Each psalm expresses an observation about a cat's nature, written in the "voice" of the cat, followed by a prayer in which the human spirit speaks of its cat-like nature to God. Cat Psalms is for those who wish to pray more deeply, with more imagination and understanding, offering fresh ways to see ourselves and new ways to pray.

This book is best read a few pages at a time so that you can ponder the wisdom and let it gently sink in.

I love this book. It follows spirituality using cats as a model. Some prayers are moving; others are funny. If you love cats you’ll find plenty in here. Great photos too.
