“There’’s no right or wrong way to feel, and there’’s no right or wrong way to pray. As an editor, there’s so much I admire about David’s writing. He doesn’t offer us platitudes. He instead offers us lifelines. He never preaches down to us because he’’s always the one who’’s down trying to look up and see how to get back up toward God. Short, readable, reliable, honest, insightful, and real. A friend.” —Karen Barber (editor-in-chief, Prayerideas.org; contributing editor, Guideposts; author of Surprised by Prayer).
