The Unity minister and author of Prayers for Healing explores prayer practices across the world’s many religions in this inspiring celebration of faith.
 
In this ideal guide for spiritual explorers everywhere, author Maggie Oman Shannon presents fifty wonderfully diverse prayer practices. Among the powerful and colorful rituals she describes are walking a labyrinth, speaking affirmations, writing in a gratitude journal, displaying prayer flags, dressing in ceremonial costumes, reading sacred scriptures, listening to the resonant sounds of a prayer bowl, drawing a mandala, counting prater beads, fasting, writing haiku, and chanting.
For each of these practices and more, Shannon offers historical details, meanings and interpretations, and stories and anecdotes from practitioners she interviewed. She also includes suggestions for bringing these rituals into one's own spiritual practice.
