The CROSSINGS Treasury of American Prayers

James P. Moore, Jr., whose Prayer in America has been cited as “groundbreaking” and a “tour de force,” was praised by The Washington Post as having “found the courage to march into uncharted territory.” He now provides perspective on the prayers of Americans from all walks of life throughout history and in today’s world. The CROSSINGS Treasury of American Prayers is the first book ever published devoted exclusively to America’s “home grown” expressions of spirituality and religious conviction. Organized by specific topics, this unique collection features sections on patience, community, thanksgiving and other timeless themes. Each prayer is accompanied by the story behind it, taking you into the very hearts of the men and women who were inspired to write them. Written by Americans from wide-ranging faith traditions, the selections in The CROSSINGS Treasury of American Prayers form an authentic and inspiring portrait of our country’s deep and rich spirituality and provide access to the inner thoughts of their authors. The CROSSINGS Treasury of American Prayers is a treasure chest in which you’re sure to find prayers to include in your own prayer life—and it is a fascinating read, too.
