Description
Book SynopsisPrayer is simply about getting naked before God: no frills, no pretence, just honest confessions to the one who made us and loves us unconditionally
Trade ReviewMara Measor's Naked Prayers reads like a modern Psalter. Faith. Triumph. Doubt. Confession. More doubt. Celebration. Like King David of Israel, Mara sheds the thin veneer of a plastic faith and vulnerably reveals the honest rhythm walking with the Creator. If you want cliched and Christianeze answers to life, then this book isn't for you. But if you want an authentic and honest reflection on the valleys and mountaintops of the Christian journey, then you won't be able to put this book down. * Preston Sprinkle, Vice President, Eternity Bible College, Boise, Author of People to Be Loved *
Mara has written a delightful book on the honest nature of prayer, longing and connection with God. A fresh, honest, hopeful and whimsical vision of what it looks like to walk with God in these cynical times. * Jon Tyson, Founding Pastor, Trinity Grace Church, New York, Author of Rumors of God *
Life is messy and complicated, and so is keeping your faith intact when things turn south. Mara's honest journey to encounter God, punctuated by her original music, is a must read for anyone who has wondered if God really cares. * Rebekah Lyons, Author of Freefall to Fly *
Similarities have been drawn with the book of Psalms and indeed some of the words she pours out bear the same expressiveness of David, the pain and hurt, as well as the celebration and joy. Her honesty amidst pain and turmoil is sure to help many people as they struggle with their own battles and journey of faith. -- Jules Middleton * Apples of Gold *
