Openings: A Daybook of Saints, Psalms, and Prayer

Readers will find a strong Christian witness in this book. Each day includes time to remember the example of those who have gone before us. Some of the people Peacock includes are Christian martyrs such as Franz Jagerstatter and St. Paul Miki, and Peacock helps readers to know more about them. Other witnesses to Christ include disciples such as Mary McLeod Bethune, Damien of Molokai, Sister Thea Bowman, Carlo Carretto, Janani Luwum, and William Stringfellow as well as more traditionally identified saints. Daily practices offer a variety of ways to be open to God. These practices may include reminders to stop throughout the day to give thanks or may invite readers to serve in a soup kitchen. Readers will pray and persevere in the freshness of God's Spirit.
