Suzanne Guthrie teaches us about the seasons of prayer by letting us enter her own in these forty meditations stretching from Advent through Pentecost.

Against the landscape of northern California, Guthrie gently leads us through the ancient 'illuminative way' of prayer, learning to see the extraordinary reality of God in the ordinary - the dry grass and circling hawks, raging firestorms in summer and the heavy winter rains. "Pray as you are drawn to pray, " she tells us, not as someone has told you how to pray.
