”My whole life, in one sense, he has been an experiment in how to be a portable sanctuary,” writes Richard Foster, ​”learning to practice the presence of God in the midst of the stresses and strains of contemporary life.” So begins Foster’s most personal work yet, a book of prayers that seek to lead us to experience ​”the reality of God in the midst of going to work and raising kids and cleaning house and paying the bills.” Drawing on the structure of his awardwinning Prayer: Finding the Heart’s True Home, Foster presents this collection of prayers according to the three aspects of the human journey: looking inward to the heart, reaching upward toward God, and moving outward to care for others. These prayers speak to moments in our days and events in our lives.
