I've found 189 Ways to Contact God by Marlene Halpin a thoughtful, wonderful, different way to think about prayer. I liked it so much that I took a chance and sent it to a friend on the other side of the country. She in turn ordered more copies for friends and family. Looking for God isn't easy these days, and I believe this book brings Him closer to our everyday lives. It teaches some of us how to see our lives as a format for talking to God. Even if you're not sure God is there,189 WAYS TO CONTACT GOD lets you try it without feeling foolish. Experience it yourself... some of your friends might be glad you did
