Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for this ARC in exchange for a review. A review is exactly what I want to do! I want to tell people to read this book!
A Rhythm of Prayer was just what I needed for such a time as this. With the world in turmoil, we hear voices and words and opinions and chatter and fury and fear and grief everywhere. The authors in this book share those emotions, but poetically, and through the filter of faith. I love the beauty of Sarah's guided mini retreats, the realness that Nadia brings to the table and the reconciliation that Osheta strives for.
The pace of the book is lovely. It is perfect for morning devotions or just to pick up when the world overwhelms. I recommend A Rhythm of Prayer to anyone seeking to wake up their prayer life.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This collection is absolutely beautiful. The essays, prayers, and meditations stem from individuals from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives, and I took something away from each one - there is so much heart and soul in each one. This is a book that I will come back to again and again, and I look forward to doing so.

This book has something to appeal to everyone: from the disgruntled Christian to the life long Baptist. Sarah Bessey has assembled her crew to write a collection of essays about prayer. Some are meditations, others liturgies. A wide variety of backgrounds and histories are represented making it a great buffet of content. Many of the contributors will be familiar to existing readers of Sarah Bessey: Nadia Bolz Weber, Barbara Brown Taylor, Amena Brown. It does seem like a fairly predictor group of contributors - I would have enjoyed reading new voices. Nonetheless, "Rhythm" remains a great book on the topic of prayer for progressive Christians.
