There's a lot more to prayer than kneeling. The Wise Earth Speaks to Your Spirit author Janell Moon shows that by using The Prayer Box the deepest, truest prayers are brought to life for those who pray.

The Prayer Box contains:

* A 96-page book that details prayer practices and shows readers how to create their own forms of prayer.
* A 96-page blank journal in which readers can draft their prayers.
* 25 prayer papers on which readers can refine and record their most-loved prayers to one or two lines.
* A lovely box in which to store prayers and prayer objects.

The book guides readers in the art of living prayer, explaining: how to ready themselves for prayer, why prayer is important to daily life, how to experience the power of prayers by writing them down, what to pray for in general, and what to pray for at different stages in life.

Moon offers activities and rituals that make prayers come alive using:

* Posture, breath, mind, and imagination in prayer.
* A "prayer tablet" to explore prayer thoughts and experiences.
* Candles as symbolic aids to prayer.
* Music and bells to encourage and shape prayer.
* Personal symbols that can be collected to strengthen and deepen prayer.
* A personal altar that gives life to prayers.
* Writing and ritual to enhance the meaning and experience of prayers.

Beautifully written and artfully crafted, The Prayer Box is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to see prayer come to life.

About the Author:

Janell Moon is a practicing counselor and hypnotherapist, writing teacher, poet, and author of several books including The Wise Earth Speaks to Your Spirit and Stirring the Waters. She is also a professional artist. Moon lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.

From Publishers Weekly:

Moon, a counselor and hypnotherapist whose book How to Pray Without Being Religious (Thorsons) will be released simultaneously with this one, encourages readers to create a "prayer box" that will help them experience prayer more fully. In this gift package, she offers a short book to guide readers through the process of "free writing" their prayers and creating personal prayer rituals. Moon has clearly read widely and well in spirituality literature, and she culls interesting quotes from a diverse range of sources. The book is generally well-organized and easy to follow, though the writing can be florid. The gift box also includes a blank-page paperback journal for readers to record their own prayerful musings, and a stack of 25 "prayer papers"�€"slips for distilling prayers into one or two lines that represent our deepest longings and intentions.
