Transparency, sincerity, sensitivity, insight, and vulnerability all packaged within an exquisite cover. This describes the book Love Letters to God by Lynn D. Morrissey. For anyone who desires to know God better or to consider written prayer as a way to communicate with Him, this book will assist in that quest. In one prayer the author astutely writes, "...when we name our grief, we acknowledge it, embrace it, lance it before the unnamed pain grows, festers, and consumes us. Naming our grief is the first step toward healing." With beautiful imagery she continues, "Dipping my pen into my heart's inkwell of tears, I streamed lists of laments into my journal." Sprinkled throughout with quotes and scriptures Love Letters to God is a consoling read. Soft impressionistic artwork makes this book inviting and one that would be an excellent Mother's Day or anytime gift.-Brenda Nixon, speaker and author of Parenting Power in The Early Yearswww.parentpwr.com

This gentle, beautiful book helps us catch glimpses of God in our written prayers. While inspiring us to write our prayers in a journal, Love Letters to God: Deeper Intimacy Through Written Prayer also instructs us in different types of prayers.When I read Lynn's written prayers, I see possibilities for my own prayer journal. I, too, can list my worries to obtain objectivity. I, too, can name my grief, do emotional spring cleaning, and wrestle with God's perfect will. I, too, see that I've dulled my conscience with addictions and activities-and know the hope of God's grace of His forgiveness and freedom. Like Lynn, I, too, can choose between bitterness or blessings, from counting my blessings to become mature enough to want to become a blessing to others. I, too, can review old journals and catch God's purpose for my life. Seeing God's answers to Lynn's long-held prayers gives me hope that mine can be answered in God's good time.Readers who already pen their prayers will be greatly encouraged to explore new possibilities for their prayer journals. Other readers-who have never written their prayers-will be gently encouraged to know the freedom and joy of journaling.
