From the Inside Flap: Hi Everybody!

Last year I embarked on an adventure – a year of living prayerfully. I had no idea what a crazy year it would be. I hadn’t planned to walk across a bed of hot coals. I didn’t in my wildest dreams think I’d get to have lunch at the Pope’s house.

I told people I wanted to spice up my prayer life, but this year wasn’t about stuffing cilantro in a burrito- it was about learning how to cook. I felt a deep need for power in prayer as I tried to advocate for victims of human trafficking.

Centuries ago, people went on long spiritual journeys called pilgrimages. These trips helped people to refocus on things above. Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost that practice. I wanted to rediscover it. This book is a record of my modern-day prayer pilgrimage, written for all those who can’t take a year off to traipse around the globe.

I wrote this for you.
