"Ken Wilson has mined an ancient gem of spiritual practice and rendered it with a contemporary twist that enlivens body, mind, and spirit. This short guide is a wellspring of wisdom that can carry us through the journey. Like a serum that nourishes the soul, the Sarum Prayer creates and fills the desire for an intimate and abiding fellowship with the divine."—Rolf Nolasco, Professor of Pastoral Theology Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary"Not only did I enjoy Ken's meditations, but his theology of prayer is spoton. I'll be using this book for my morning prayers in Lent this year."—Bonnie Perry, XI Bishop, diocese of Michigan"In this heartfelt book, Ken graciously and gently invites us to join him for forty days in pondering the unique, ancient, yet very contemporary Sarum Prayer. With biblical, theological, psychological, and spiritual insights, as well as personal experiences, he illumines the fascinating, practical implications of this simple/profound prayer."—Donald H. Postema, author

"All of us need help praying from time to time. The Sarum Prayer stands apart because it incorporates our whole lives and our whole selves. Ken Wilson gives us the time to internalize this prayer so that it can make its way into our prayer lives well beyond our forty days of guided prayer."—Greg Carey, Professor of New Testament, Lancaster Theological Seminary
