Book Review of All You Really Need to Know About Prayer You Can Learn From the Poor

All You Really Need to Know About Prayer You Can Learn From the Poor
reviewed on


Very good book with some good insights into prayer and a real wake-up call to the plight of the poor.

Many of the prayers are quite beautiful and one poem cries out to be set to music and recorded (a repeated stanza: I'm drinking out of a saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed").

Sadly, a few years after this book came out there was a scandal involving the founder (he is not the author) of Food for the Poor. The organization has continued without him.
