Goodreads asked Catherine Bird:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Catherine Bird Faith is immensely personal. As a God who literally knit us into being within our mothers' wombs and knows the number of hairs on our head, it doesn't get more intimate than that. I think especially in today's culture, it's easy to get caught up in the ways of the world forgetting that we were designed to live in the ways of the Word. That doesn't necessarily look like structured church and pre-written prayer offerings. That was the heart behind The Art of Amen...I wanted to demystify the act of prayer and encourage others to explore and delve deeper into the comfortable intimacy we are designed to crave with God. Nothing and no one else can ever fill that space within us, and God did that on purpose.
