Designed both for personal use and community worship, these prayers are jumper cables from the pew to the world. With riveting use of images drawn from the Bible, and imaginatively applied to a contemporary context, Sehested's exquisite poetry illustrates how faith is always personal but never merely private and affirms that redemption is for the world, not from the world.
