À propos de cet e-book
Special Intentions
Special Intentions reminds us of the importance of not simply praying for what we need, but for what others need. Jesus taught us to ask God for our daily bread, but he also asked us to love one another. Commending our friends and families (and co-workers, neighbors, acquaintances and even those who bother us) to the care of God is a key aspect of that love, and an importantelement of the Christian tradition.
Claire Coleman's sensitive newwork will help readers to more fully enter into this rich stream of the spiritual life.
