What a wonder book by one of my favorite writers. This poetry book by Helen Steiner Rice is based on the outdoors and your backyard garden. The different chapters highlight a time frame when an extra prayer is always a good idea such as New Years, Mother's day and Father's day for example. The illustrations are beautiful and there are bible verses to help you focus your thoughts as you pray. A perfect gift for any reader.

My Garden of Prayer are Prayers, poems and letters from Helen Steiner Rice. They are beautiful, lovely, and pertinent. She writes for specific things like Mothers Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day etc. This book is so beautiful I just absolutely love it - it is so enjoyable, but most importantly it helps you get in touch with GOD.

Review written after downloading a galley from Net Galley.

A prayer is the key that opens our heart, and no one is unheard. In difficult times we should all find a moment for praying in a place where to rest and ask thanks to God for what we have or for what we need.
Tender, sweet, profound, delicate for every occasion, My Garden of Prayer Beloved Prayer Poetry from Helen Steiner Rice by Helen Steiner Rice is the best gift you can donate to a friend or the best book you can buy for yourself for keeping alive or review your personal relationship with God.It will be published by Barbour this July 1.

Christmas, Thanksgiving, every day, these prayers/poems written by Helen Steiner Rice are a joy and a feast for the heart and mind like at the same time a meditation of the meaning of God and our relationship with Him according to my point of view.

There are prayers for peace, prayers for patience, prayers for hope, prayers for good times, prayers for thanking Lord for what we have received, prayers for the periods in our life when we are more discouraged and we don't have close to us anyone to listen to us. God will be there listening to us. There are prayers for blessing us, our house, for expressing joy, gratitude, thankful and happiness.

Enjoy this precious book because one of the best prayers book you can buy and you can treasure!

The cover is amazing! Celestial I would add.


I thank NetGalley and Barbour for this ebook.

Very nice book. I enjoyed the prayers for all different occasions. Nice book to read.
