Summary: Prayers keep church focused beyond itself
Review: It is not unusual for a church meeting here at Foundry United Methodist Church to begin with someone reading a prayer from Ted Loder's "Guerrillas of Grace." I am especially delighted that our Finance Committee chair has used Ted's prayers again and again to set the spiritual context for her committee's work.

Here at Foundry, our laity are looking for ways to connect their commitment to social justice with their spiritual lives and our biblical heritage. They are looking for spiritual authenticity that goes beyond both superficial piety and simplistic secularity. Ted's prayers do this, so our folk receive them gladly.

This is a helpful book for church leaders to use in their spiritual lives.

Summary: Touching God With Words
Review: Ted Loder can write, no doubt about it. But with Guerrillas, the Spirit speaks through him loudly and clearly. This book of prayers is unlike any other I have ever read. Mr. Loder's prayers give us permission to speak as freely to our God as we would like, to use our weak and imperfect selves to achieve great things. Your heart and soul will never be the same once you have used this book. And do use it. It will help those who have forgotten how to talk to God, to once again do so. It will guide those who never tried to talk with God, to make a stab at it. Those who are more comfortable will traditional prayer styles will find these prayers a challenge. But what would life be without a challenge?
