The Prayerful Spirit by James P. Gills, M.D.
1995, Love Press
153 pages
"Prayer is, I believe, the most interesting subject in the universe, and one that produces, strangely, a lot of dull books. Dr. Gills' book is a compelling statement on a compelling subject. As I read it, I kept thinking, 'This is good, solid, basic, Biblical, interesting.' The emphasis on physicians and prayer is especially good."

Prayers for the Domestic Church by Edward Hays
1979, Forest of Peace Books, Inc.
200 pages
This book "flows out of an awareness that holiness is homemade. The larger Church and local parishes depend for their vitality on the prayer that takes place in individual homes, both family and personal worship. We easily forget that the first alstar around which primitive people worshiped was the hearth, whose open fire burned in the center of the home. The next altar-shrine was the family table where meals were celebrated and great events in the personal history of the family were remembered The priests and priestesses of these first rituals were the mothers and fathers of families. [This book] reawakens the priestly power of parents and the sacredness of the home in a way that can once again make our communal churches pinwheels of grace and peace that whirl outward, extending to the edges of the universe."
