"Ms. Huddleston has written a wonderful little book full of simple prayers. Reading through the prayers from aging and anger to weakness and worldliness is almost like talking to God. This is a book that I find myself coming back to again and again. I especially found the prayer on depression and the two on gossip very helpful. And I must say, I really needed help in the gossip department. All in all, I think this book has helped make me a better person."

The book's seven themes are: perspective, commitment, provision, security, witness, relationships and praise. Let this book remind you that God comes in our suffering and in our happiness, but always "...God comes in awesome majesty." (Job 37:22)
