This entertaining follow-up to Silver's first collection of stories, Outrageous Openness, applies her signature light touch to some weighty spiritual topics. The book balances formal prayers to the "Divine Beloved" with everyday examples from Silver's own life. Her gift for crystallizing the lessons hidden in the most mundane moments—when her Prius is pinned into a parking space by a huge SUV, for instance—makes her spiritual guidance accessible. The book is divided by topic, though Silver's placement of her brief pieces seems somewhat arbitrary; there is little reason, for example, for her story about an encounter with a fellow cyclist to be filed under prosperity rather than relationships. Fortunately, a quick guide offers direct access by subject so that readers can dip their toes into the topic most concerning to them, with entries such as desire, loss, and surrender leading directly to the pertinent prayers. As in her first book, Silver's prayers foster openness to the rich array of possibilities in life. (May)

Read an Excerpt

Change Me Prayers

If you’ve ever read my work, you know by now that I consider almost nothing random.

If I’m cradling a question in my heart, to be shown the right direction I pay intense attention to the answers that come, no matter what delivery service God may use. License plates, billboards, songs on the radio, comments from strangers, all become grist for my own spiritual mill.

So my ears perked up like a Labrador one time when a stately, white-haired Frenchman turned to me in the produce aisle of the grocery store and exclaimed, “Mise en place, it’s ALL about mise en place, n’est-ce pas? It’s the consummate key!”

I nodded and thanked him, though I had no idea what the hell he was talking about. I made a note to check when I got home, but if you’re a cook, you may already know.

I discovered mise en place is a French phrase for prepping all the ingredients for a meal: getting everything washed, chopped, and in order. Some people would even include cleaning and readying the kitchen. That way, when it’s time, you can cook with abandon.

Well, I couldn’t think of a better message. I could feel in my bones that a big wave of new life was lurking right around the bend.

So get ready! Clean out the closets, finish up loose ends, get rid of what needs to go. Create a vacuum for the New to fill. Release dead weight, old destructive habits, exhausting relationships. Pick a few items off the procrastination list and whisk them away.

And if the Divine wants to make a delicious meal out of you, well, you’ll be prepared.

Change me Divine Beloved into One who easily releases all that’s ready to go, making room for what wants to come. May I courageously release all that is outgrown and stagnant, preparing for the new. Let me move in harmony with Your natural cycles in every way.
