"I know dogs in my life the way I know people and cats and trees and landscapes. Dogs help me shape my thoughts, feelings, and prayer life. Dogs have taught me attributes I feel in myself when reflecting and praying. Dogs have shown me the spirit of being loyal, glad, overwhelmed, protective, committed, vigilant, patient, kind, energetic, discerning, forgiving. Unfolding these attributes of dog life opens my own spiritual being. My relationship with dog mirrors my relationship with God." In Dog Psalms the reader can use a dogâs attributes to speak to God.

Cats help me pray, says Herbert Brokering. This collection of whimsical, insightful psalms, or prayers, is based on Brokeringâs observations of cats he has known through his life â farm cats, house cats, alley cats. Each psalm expresses an observation about a catâs nature, written in the "voice" of the cat, followed by a prayer in which the human spirit speaks of its cat-like nature to God. Cat Psalms is for those who wish to pray more deeply, with more imagination and understanding, and offers fresh ways to see ourselves and new ways to pray.

Prayer is a very precious medicine, one that helps and never fails Martin LutherThere is no monotony in the prayer salutations of Luther. He is as one in continual conversation with God. It is clear that Luthers faith and confession became devotion and prayer, and his interpretation was rooted and strengthened and nourished in this. Luthers powerful prayers are on topics spanning all of life: the soldier, employer, politician, pastor, sick person, parent, newlywed, teacher. Five hundred years later, these prayers still ring true today, calling us into an ever-closer relationship with God.
