Prayers for Hard Times: Reflections, Meditations and Inspirations of Hope and Comfort

The simple act of praying

Wisdom, inspiration and prayer: As recent scientific research shows, the simple act of praying can be emotionally, spiritually, and even physically healing. With Prayers for Hard Times, author Becca Anderson offers solace in bringing together the wisdom of great thinkers, spiritual leaders and writers who have faced difficulty and learned from it.

Sacred and inspirational sources: Organized in daybook form, the book draws from sacred sources such as the Bible, the Torah, Buddhist and Native American texts, as well as inspirational writings of:

Joan DidionElizabeth GilbertMaya AngelouRumiMark NepoHarriet TubmanDave EggarsAbraham LincolnAnne Morrow LindbergMartin Luther King Jr.

Consolation and renewal: Together, these wise words create a tapestry of consolation and renewal for those times when it all seems “too much.” In a world that feels increasingly fragile and, at times, fractured, people need answers and prayers. Becca Anderson’s collection focuses on prayers for a wide range of life challenges, from the personal to the global. Prayers for Hard Times covers issues facing individuals such as loss of loved ones, illness, anxiety, divorce, depression and addiction, as well as those challenges communities face in natural disasters and violence. The writers in Anderson’s devotional address the world at large, as well, with words of hope and help for global poverty, hunger, war and the environmental. Prayers for Hard Times offers readers solace, comfort, and support, drawing from the wisdom of every era, every major faith and tradition, and the important voices of those who have lived through such experiences themselves.

Love & Happiness: A collection of personal reflections and quotes

Things fall apart. And they break sometimes. Like many of you, my journey hasn’t always been easy. Pain is very real. And so is loss.
Sometimes it’s hard not to let the weight of what we carry—or the memory of what we’ve lost—take over. Many of us know the reality
of struggle, and so many people suffer in silence. It’s hard. It’s hard not to give up when we face the repeated disappointments
of life. Like some of you, I’ve known loneliness. I’ve known defeat. I’ve fallen many times chasing mirages, and broken many bones
making castles in life’s fading sands. Sometimes, all it took was one solid wave to destroy what I had spent years building.

So I decided to give it a voice. All of it: the tears, the pain. And the lessons. The things I saw and learned and gained along my life
path needed a voice. I wanted to give back, in hopes of helping myself and others survive. But then it wasn’t just about surviving.
I didn’t just want people to survive inside their storms. I wanted people to thrive inside their storms. And so I wrote, as I walked through my own.

The words found in this book became my voice and my letter to the world. They became my deepest attempt to, not just pick myself up, but others along the way. I wrote because, just as we will fall in life, so will we rise. That’s the thing about this world. It never gives us only one kind of path. There is pain. Yes. And loss. And even darkness. But there is also light. There is hope. There is
beauty.

And there is also love and happiness.

From Humor to Inspiration: Jokes, Reflections and Quotes to Enliven Your Day

“From Humor to Inspiration”, by noted pastor and speaker Fr. Mathew Vellankal is a rare blend of laughter-inducing jokes and soul-searching reflections. Humor is the best antidote to boredom. Humor is a great leveler — it cuts through class, status, position or other ranks. Ability to laugh at the funny stories and trifles about others will help us also to laugh at our own foibles and mistakes, to rid ourselves of our false ego. Humor can help remove anxiety and tension. I would say a chuckle in time can save you a few wrinkles on your forehead; a hearty laugh might help ward off even a heart attack! From Humor to Inspiration takes you beyond mere lung- splitting laughter. It leads you to ponder on the more precious values that guide our life. The inspirational messages and thought provoking reflections, apt quotations from Scriptures and pithy sayings in the book help one to look at life with a totally new perspective.
