Summary: A gift for anyone in trouble
Comment: This is a book that covers our most difficult times and walks us through the struggle of finding the right words to use when our mind feels drained of all ability to comunicate with our Christ. Althought we know He is there all the time, there are times we need to be reminded of the right way to pray. Just reading the words brings us back to the reality that there is a silver lining behind the darkest clouds. I have given this book to a friend whose daughter was anorexic and it is traveling the circuit of her friends parents. I will keep several on hand for just that purpose!

Summary: This Book is Fabulous
Comment: I love this book. It is so inspirational and easy to read without getting lost in the "holiness" of it all. A lot of times I am turned off by religion because most of the time it just doesn't deal with the practicality of everyday living. If you are looking for a nice approach to religion this book is for you as well as for newly married couples, teenagers, singles, and anyone who might be in need of inspiration and hope.

Summary: This book is HILARIOUS.
Comment: I work in a bookstore, and I had the pleasure of picking this book up and flipping through it, and I have to say that it will make you laugh harder than most books that actually try to do so. Unintentional comedy on a grand scale.

...The contents of the book are what's really amusing. This is, as the title suggests, a collection of prayers for tough situations. What's amusing is how specific the authors seem to think we need to be with out prayers. There are prayers intended for every type of politician, including separate prayers for the president, cabinet members, senators, representatives, and local officials, and at least four for different officers of the military. I imagine God getting a little impatient: "Lady, just say bless the Army and I would've gotten the idea, alright?"

The rest of the book offers up a host of gems; this would make a perfect irony-laden gift for your local super-Christian. "Oh God, It's a Heart Attack", "Save Our Homosexual Child", "Bless the Couples Living Out Of Wedlock", and the absolute side-splitting king of prayers, "Lord, My Children Have Been Wrongly Taken By The Authorities," will not soon be forgotten. I am absolutely not kidding about that last title.

Some people may actually think this book is useful, but as far as I can tell, it's a manual for people with no creative ability to form complete sentences or express their wishes in spoken or written form. So, it's a perfect gift for your favorite subliterate fundamentalist.
