Liturgies for Wholeness

Sixty modern and inspiring liturgies that offer compassionate insight to nurture your soul, from the bestselling authors of Liturgies for Hope. “A voice of reassurance and a much needed reminder of the hope we have.”—Joshua Luke Smith, performing artist, pastor, and author What if my current life is preparing me for something I can’t see? Oh God, when I feel overlooked and forgotten, when I ache to be important, redirect my heart to You who remembers me.

Each prayer includes related Scripture references to offer you further opportunity for meditation and reflection.
