Review Quotes

"The author's message regarding the power of positive acts based on strong faith and ethical thought is uplifting."
--Peter S. Willmott, director, FedEx Corporation

"A wealth of prayers and thoughts for everyone, regardless of tradition. I found it non-stop reading in one sitting."
--S. Shepherd Tate, past president, American Bar Association

"Finally, a book that has models of faith forged by fishing, walking, writing, singing ... even eating a fast food breakfast. If you're looking for ways to integrate your 'real life' and your 'prayer life, ' [this] is the guidebook you've been looking for."
--Ana Hernández, author, The Sacred Art of Chant: Preparing to Practice

"The holy is in the ordinary, the sacred is in the profane and we find the Creator of the universe in the mundane details of everyday life. John McQuiston does an admirable job of helping us to discover the joy of this reality in the knockabout world of work."
--Mitch Finley, author, Prayer for People Who Think Too Much: A Guide to Everyday, Anywhere Prayer from the World's Faith Traditions
