Sharon Seyfarth Garner invites readers to be still enough to know and bold enough to go—offering creative prayer practices that help us awaken to God’s presence, pray
honestly, act courageously, and love more fully. In a world marked by noise and disruption, Praying with Jonah explores what it means to live a faith that is both contemplative and active.
