Prayer is essential to the Christian life, bonding us to God. Yet we find it difficult in our frenetic world to keep our minds focused for long. A wide variety of external noise and inner voices clamor for our attention. How are we able to slow down and quiet down so that you could actually wait on the Lord? Nan Lewis Doerr and Virginia Stem Owens offer a solution that calls on the physical senses to break through to the spiritual — praying with beads.

Using prayer beads, which has a long history in practical spirituality, is now becoming more widespread among Protestants. Doerr and Owens here show readers how to use what have grow to be known as Anglican or Christian prayer beads. Readers can then use the basic prayer structure provided by the beads to pray their way through on a daily basis — morning, noon, and night — and through the church year. These prayers — a thoughtfully chosen combination of quotations from Scripture and gleanings from the Book of Common Prayer — can be enhanced and enriched by the mindful and meditative practice of the usage of beads.

Doerr and Owens encourage readers to use beads as “something to hang onto, a lifeline to the Presence that lies, continuously hidden or forgotten, at the center of our lives.” Praying with beads, as outlined and embodied in this little book, has the potential to grow to be one’s prayer life.
