"This is a majestic account of one of the very few, and very central, distinctively human activities." --Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature "A wonderful book -- original, well-researched, clear, inspiring, even-handed. I applaud the two Zaleskis for their great effort." --Natalie Goldberg, author of Long Quiet Highway and The Great Failure "A grand and human compendium, fascinating on every page. It's witty, moving, and full of interesting facts and funny stories." --Annie Dillard "A much-needed study of a neglected topic." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review "A wonderful read...Any serious student of prayer will learn a good deal from this book." --America "A finely written, accessible, and informative thematic history of prayer." Library Journal "A rich study...[The Zaleskis] rival Karen Armstrong in their lucid prose and expansive vision." Kirkus Reviews --
