Public Lives, Private Prayers - Softcover

A collection of the favorite prayers and sayings of 125 well-known public figures provides authentic inspiration. From Queen Noor comes a saying from Mohammed, from Bill Bradley comes a Zen text, from Rabbi Rosenthal comes a quote from Tagore, from Cardinal Cassidy comes Psalm 130, from the Archbishop of Canterbury comes a poem by George Herbert, and from Jane Alexander comes a line from Tennessee Williams, "Sometimes there's God -- So Quickly!" The prayers and poems in Public Lives, Private Prayers are sometimes practical and sometimes poetic, but in all cases, they are attempts to find words for universal and profound longings. A useful book to help people make peace between the head and the heart.
