The book will help you find inspiration in our troubling times.
by Paul and Tracey McManus
The authors originally created the 7 Great Prayers in response to their own financial and personal challenges. In the wake of the dot-com bust, they had no jobs, their savings had evaporated and they were losing their home.
One sleepless night, they prayed a simple prayer that focused on their blessings, rather than on all they were losing and had lost. This prayer of gratitude was life-changing.
Newly inspired, they created six more simple prayers that helped to attract new blessings into their lives. They gathered the prayers into a self-published book and created a simple Web page about the prayers. Soon, more than 20 million people from across the globe visited this site.
These powerful prayers gave hope to people of all nationalities and faiths, helping them stay positive through difficult times and deepening their love for life. And thus, a grass-roots phenomenon was born.
Now the book can do the same for all readers as they also find inspiration in today’s troubling times.
