"Here is a book that opens personal and social depths of prayer like no other in recent memory. Three well-known prayer texts co-mingle with the author's life story to reveal things about prayer and life so desperately needed in today's world. The unlikely combination of prayers by a diplomant (Dag Hammerskjold), a theologian (Reinhold Neibuhr), and a rabbi (Jesus of Nazareth)-sounded by George Donigian's distinctive Armenian/American voice-come alive as prophecy, wisdom, and saving grace. Elegantly written, these pages will invite, challenge, and change your understanding of what it is to pray with others, over a lifetime in all circumstances. Don't miss it."
