The Centering Moment

"This is a book of Prayer-Meditations winnowed out of a wide variety of meetings for worship. Some of them are topical in the sense that they reflect concern about contemporary events as they were happening in our immediate world. Others are windows into the brooding mind and quickened hearts of those who sensed the living God in their private struggles, needs, and predicaments...

They spring out of the tradition of Christian religious experience while they envelop needs and aspirations that are as universal as the human heart, as particular as human frailty, as intimate as the care of God for the fallen sparrow or as relentless as the ebb and flow of kingdoms and civilizations."
