    • The testimony of the dog-eared...
Falling-apart pages bound by a rubber band are a testimony. The true test of the usefulness of a book is simply...how many times one uses it. My first one was in pieces by the time I bought the Kindle version. This book is an essential piece of my ministry. I support a diverse faith population in California and it is immensely useful to have a handy guide with me. It is my (very) small and secret weapon when I walk into a room. During my hospital residency, on one of my first on call overnights, I received the most dreaded call for any intern chaplain–a fetal demise. I made a prayer for the parents that was needed and appropriate for a Hindu father and an orthodox Christian mother...over a beautiful full term baby girl. From this beautiful little book I got the true and useful phrase..."WHEN HELLO IS ALSO GOODBYE..." It was powerful and around it, I built the small ceremony that morning in their hospital room. I highly recommend Matt Sander's collection of prayers and readings as a must have for any Interfaith healthcare spiritual care offering. Rev. Eleesabeth M.

    • Invaluable resource for hospital chaplains and chaplain interns
I use this book daily in my CPE internship in palliative care hospital chaplaincy. It's the perfect size to tuck into a chaplain's bag, and it is very well-organized. The resources cover a wide range of traditions and circumstances--everything from a blessing for a healthy baby to prayers for removal of life support. The faith traditions are represented in a comprehensive and respectful way, though some are better met than others (the "Native American prayer" section, with just two entries, is very slim and does not begin to approach even a cursory representative survey of prayers from this vast tradition). I have used the blank pages and spaces in the book to write in prayers and resources I've found helpful, and I imagine others probably do the same. Health care chaplaincy is an interfaith environment in which all chaplains need to be prepared to meet patients, families, and other health care providers just where they are in their spiritual journeys. This little book by the very generous Matt Sanders is a lovely tool for doing our work. Thank you, Matt. Namaste. ... show more

    • How do we open hearts with words
I have found this a very thoughtful book. We are searching from our own vantage points to reach a place of safety and love. Words sometimes prepare us for the journey. This book offers us words, some thousands of years old, some just a few years old, words that may offer us what we need in this moment to get us to the next moment, that is sometimes all we can ask for. What will offer me what I need to take the next step. What words may offer you what you need for the next step? Maybe it is in this book, maybe not. You won't know till you hear the words. ... show more

    • A must for every Minister/Chaplain's library
This little book offers much in the way of guidance and prayer for many different faiths with no apologetics. The material contained within helpful, easy to find and to the point without awkward preface. A must for every minister/chaplain's library. I am only sorry that a hardback edition was not available. ... show more

    • A useful tool for interfaith ministry..
The book looks and feels like a traditional book of prayers. It is sectioned into faiths and subsections according to the usual situation where a minister's prayer are appropriate. Well pleased and have used almost immediately after delivery

Clinical Chaplain Sanders has accumulated in this single, little volume, a most helpful collection of prayers and inspirational works in the faith traditions of every major world religion. This will undoubtedly be found most helpful in the interactions of professional chaplains and others offering psycho-spiritual support to those suffering through crisis whether in in hospitals or the other many settings in which the need arises. ... show more
