How Do You Pray? offers
creative inspiration and rich nourishment for all seekers."--Michael J. Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci and Innovate Like Edison

"Each humble seeker will discern the language of prayer, the language of the heart, in his or her own way, guided by the Love that interpenetrates all existence. Nonetheless, we are richly fed and inspired by the words and witness of others in their explorations and practice within this mysterious
and ultimately ordinary domain. In this feast of a book, Celeste Yacoboni presents us with dozens of invitations to stop, to listen, to let go, to wonder, to shout in praise, to cry with longing. Here is a gift for all lovers of God, whatsoever Name is assigned to that One."--Regina Sara Ryan, author of Praying Dangerously and Igniting the Inner Life
