Designed for use during any 40-day period, Writing to God relieves readers of the self-consciousness of trying to pray “the right way,” inviting them to pray wherever the pen leads! Includes a special section of prayers and prompts for Holy Week and Easter, for anyone using the book this Lent.

Ellen Prewitt invites you to discover how this new spiritual practice—making crosses—can deepen a life lived for Christ. As she says, “To make a cross is to pray in a new way, but it’s not as simple as old-fashioned petitionary prayer; making crosses is a way for God to pray through you.”
