Prayer & Confession: Spiritual Practices for Everyday Life [9781619704404]
Every day we have an opportunity to meet with God and encounter his grace. Yet sometimes amid the busyness of life, time with God can easily get pushe…
Knowing that many of her contemporaries feel they are no good at praying, singer-songwriter Mara Measor fights the notion of 'bad prayers' by suggesting that prayer is simply about getting naked before God, without pretence. In a series of authentic prayers through words and doodles, written over 13 months, she reflects on four stages: Following God through making a home in New York City; Fretting about the purpose and direction of her life; Falling into a period of depression; Finding her way back to freedom. As she says, 'There are a million and one books on prayer floating around Christian circles, but this is not a how-to-pray book; this is a how-I-have-really-prayed book.'
AUTHOR: Mara Measor is a British-Chinese graduate of the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, a passionate singer, songwriter and actor, guided by her Christian beliefs. With hundreds of music and acting appearances, she has made a name for herself in New York's prominent music and theater scene. But Mara isn't the product of a musical family: she is the youngest daughter of a prominent figure in Hong Kong - stock guru Tony Measor. Now a household name in Hong Kong, and regularly speaking, singing or acting on the national stage, Mara frequently travels to visit her family from her base in New York.
