"To center in on what needs to be said--nothing more, nothing less--that's a rare art. That's what Peter Traben Haas offers us in his new volume of Centering Prayers . Highly recommended!" --Brian D. McLaren , author of Do I Stay Christian? "Peter tells us, 'In the silence of the new year, I see the me is a We.' This is what happens when we sit with God. God becomes our partner in life. Allow these beautiful prayers to guide and settle you into the silence of your centering prayer sit." --Rich Lewis , author of Sitting with God: A Journey to Your True Self Through Centering Prayer "A beautiful, honest and consoling book of prayers.

Peter Traben Haas is a wise and compassionate guide." --Douglas E. Christie , PhD, Author of The Blue Sapphire of the Mind: Notes for a Contemplative Ecology. "These prayers act as both a holy pause - a space to rest into when our own words seem to fail us - and a spark - a way of igniting our recommitment to be a loving presence in the world. Full of gratitude, humility, and devotion, Haas calls us back into communion with ourselves, with creation, and with the Holy One." --Christine Valters Paintner , PhD, online abbess of Abbey of the Arts and author of 20 books on spirituality and the contemplative life.
