Prayer in the Night

For Those Who Work or Watch or Weep

De: Tish Harrison Warren

Narrado por: Sarah Zimmerman

How can we trust God in the dark?

Framed around the nighttime prayer of Compline, Tish Harrison Warren, author of Liturgy of the Ordinary, explores themes of human vulnerability, suffering, and God's seeming absence. When she navigated a time of doubt and loss, the prayer was grounding for her. She writes: "It was this practice that gave me words for my anxiety and grief and allowed me to reencounter doctrines of the church - the church's claims about reality - not as rational, tidy little antidotes for pain but as a light in darkness, as good news." Where do we find comfort when we lie awake worrying or weeping in the night? This book offers a prayerful and frank approach to the difficulties in our ordinary lives at work, at home, and in a world filled with uncertainty.

Excellent resource for prayer

Such a thoughtful and intentional resource for prayer. Tish brings a fresh and vulnerable perspective to prayer during difficult seasons of life.

Nor Alone

This book has refreshed old words and ideas. It has been a gift. She is a worthy writer.

This book is a must read

It soothes the souls and more importantly points i to our back to a good loving and compassionate father who is acquainted with our sufferings and who continues to invite us into His comfort. Tish has such a gorgeous way of communicating all of this through her own personal stories and experiences. Her writing is a gift.

Amazing

This book provided a deep view into the pains and sorrows that are inevitable in life, but also points the reader toward hope in God

Helps to answer the big WHY. Why evil and pain?

She takes a deep dive into how to cope with the hard times in life, which we all experience in one degree or another. Very insightful. Hopeful. Peaceful.

Beautiful.

Absolutely perfect. Sweet and holy, tender and gracious. Ministered to me. So many things... so absolute medicine for my heart. Thank you Tish.

A new Christian Classic!

Loved it; was deeply moved. This is the kind of book one reads over and over again. Narrator was excellent.

A way to grow your prayer life

Such a beautiful book to learn to trust God in the good times and in the bad. To grow your faith wherever you are in your journey. I will continue to reread this book.

Much to consider

Well written. I am reassured as some of the writer’s concerns are mine as well. Am I good enough? Am I faithful enough?

Authenticity is a rare find

The clarity and organization of the author's thought process, along with the seamless flow of the narrative, are truly commendable. I finished the audiobook in a single day, as the storytelling captivated me with its honesty and humility. Brilliantly constructed!
