Not Your Granny’s Prayers

Edited by Amanda Rinker

"No more relying on Grandma for prayers from the good old days. It's time for an easier way to pray for young women. Find clear meanings from prayers that convey today's issues. Not Your Granny's Prayers looks at modern day topics. Use these prayers, about relationships and homework, and even "that time of the month: to connect to your faith."

Time and time again, younger generations are left finding the right words for prayer by following examples set by parents, or even grandparents. Most are told to find inspirational verses in a spiritual Holy Book, but aren’t there clearer ways to convey thoughts to God?

In this prayer book, you’ll find short, contemporary prayers that aid young women in their quest for advice. These prayers make it easier for anyone to communicate with their Holy One through simple, one-on-One prayer requests.

At the end of the prayer book we’ve included blank pages for you to express your own voice in prayer, just as the writers have for young women in this prayer book. Use the blank space for quotes that you find inspirational or your own personal prayer reflections.
