Move closer to God one day at a time by reading the Psalms and practicing prayer in ways you may not have imagined before. Peacock includes a wide variety of Christian prayer practices, including aspects of play, music and physical movement, as well as prayers for peace, of compassion, and for the seasons.

Each day's reading has four parts:

• Remember a notable person of faith or a significant event
  
• Read a psalm or another scripture passage
  
• Ponder on the scripture or person of faith
  
• Prayer/Practice guides you through many different prayer practices

Daily practices offer a variety of ways to be open to God. You'll find a strong Christian witness in this book, whether encouraged to stop your day to simply give thanks or to serve in a soup kitchen. You'll learn to pray and persevere in the freshness of God's spirit.

Openings is receiving advance praise from professors and authors around the country. Actor and activist Martin Sheen says of Peacock's work, "I am convinced that as we discover the depths of prayer, we will 'discover fire for the second time.'”

Openings will lead you into God's presence, helping you learn how to talk to God and how to recognize God's whispers to you.
