PRAISE FOR
Beyond Words: 15 Ways of Doing Prayer

by Kristen Johnson Ingram

Published: April 2005
Publisher: Morehouse Publishing

“This gem of a book invites the reader to pray in ways old and new, including everything from music and gardening to television shows. The foundational unity of Kristen Johnson Ingram's vision expresses itself in a wondrous diversity of practice that invites us to savor prayer, and life, in all its variety.” —Mary Earle, author of Beginning Again

“For years, Kristen Ingram has been a thoughtful, imaginative, and faithful guide to the life of the Spirit. Here once again she invites us into the adventure of prayer with the wisdom of a true elder. She is the best spiritual director, for she knows that it is in the dirt of our daily life that we discover the dust of God's glory.”
The Very Rev. Peter Eaton, Dean of St. John's Cathedral, Denver, Colorado

“Such fun! Such wisdom! Such holiness! This book is a prayer. Read it, pray it, live it. Your life can become a prayer.”
Donna Fletcher Crow, author of Seasons of Prayer: Rediscovering Classic Prayers Through the Christian Calendar

“Making contact with the Creator of the universe is no small thing. But for Kristen Ingram, who has the audacity to believe, experiencing God through prayer is as natural as breathing. And in this book, she's shown the rest of us how it's done.”
Kathleen Stephens, editor, Upper Room Resource Development

“Kristen Ingram is an incarnational contemplative after my own heart. She expands our understanding of prayer and grounds it in the human body and the body of the earth where the Word Made Flesh mercifully chose to dwell among us.”
Mother Tessa Bielecki, director of the Spiritual Life Institute, Crestone, Colorado, and author of Teresa of Avila: Ecstasy and Common Sense.
