Someone's Praying, Lord

Someone's Praying, Lord is a book of prayers written specifically for situations of daily life--prayers for the high times and the lows, prayers for times of happiness and sadness, prayers in the morning and those at night.

This book is made up of prayers that struggled, in many different times and places, to be born within one's life; to speak to God, not just for oneself but for other people too, those feelings most deeply felt, those longings most secretly longed, and those words most passionately needing to be said.

They are offered in this form as expressions of what one person, ""standin' in the need of prayer,"" felt and said in that moment when his heart was most touched by God.

The author, Arthur A. Rouner, is a graduate of Harvard College, Union Theological
Seminary, and Luther Theological Seminary. He served as a Congregational minister for
forty-plus years. He has written twenty-five books, including How to Love, Healing Your Hurts, Being Present, and Forgiveness: The Road to Reconciliation. Following parish ministry, he founded The Pilgrim Center for Reconciliation, an international ministry dedicated to helping church and government leaders recover from the traumas of genocide, war, and conflict.

It is his hope that this book may be an encouragement to others who are looking for a word to say that will tell the Lord what they are feeling in critical moments of their lives.
