If meditation encourages listening to a greater spirit, prayers address God--and here are ones for adoration, petition, and silent communion that come from Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jain, Native America, and more. Some are nondenominational. Finish with blessings, a powerful way to praise the Divine and share loving energy with others. The author lives in Brooklyn, NY. 512 pages, 4 3/16 x 5 1/4.

BOOK EXCERPT:

"There is no such thing as fun for the entire family."--Jerry Seinfeld. That's an example of a one-liner. It packs a wealth of meaning into a few words and produces a chuckle along with its wisdom. Here's another one: "My luck--I was waiting at the airport when my ship came in."--Henny Youngman. There are many more laugh-inducing one-liners like these in this collection! Some are attributed to famous people; others have no source. They span many different topics. One thing's for sure. These one-liners not only say something, but they say it in a memorable way. Here are two more: * "Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons."--Woody Allen. * "I was so ugly as a kid we never had a jack-o'-lantern. They just stuck me in the window."--Rodney Dangerfield. Perrett lives in Westlake Village, GA. 512 pages, 4 3/16 x 5 1/4.
