Listen in on the meditations of a messy spirituality, the life-affirming ramblings of ordinary people who never intended their thoughts to be published and widely read. These anonymous prayers come from the meek, the poor in spirit, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Some of the authors might not even call themselves Christians, but they still believe in prayer and have dared to post their heart cries on the Internet, on university walls, on church walls and, even on the walls of a brewery. These raw, honest non-religious psalms and lamentations are full of life, the big and the small things. They address such issues as AIDS, a slice of pizza and rainbows. They include the poignant words of a teenager crying out for help with her compulsion to self abuse, an ex-con meditating on the meaning of freedom and a person contemplating the deep spiritual significance of a cereal package. Join the conversation in The Writing on the Wall, a spiritually expressive prayer primer for a new generation. It just may change your views about life-and faith.Harding, Carla is the author of 'Writing on the Wall Prayers, Psalms and Laments of the Rising Culture', published 2007 under ISBN 9780830743674 and ISBN 0830743677.
