Watermark's Book of the Week is Beginners Grace: Bringing Prayer to Life by Kate Braestrup (Free Press, 9781439184264, $25.00) Chaplain and author of the moving faith memoir Here If You Need Me, Braestrup offers diverse prayers and her own commentaries on the everyday practice of prayer; some samples include: prayers for dark and quiet times, praying with enemies, agnostic prayers, and lovers prayers. She offers moving biblical texts alongside current events, insights from her experience raising six teenagers (at once!), and newly penned prayers, like:
"Prayer for a Glass Heart
Blessed is the breath of the glassblower, who
With skillful hand and steady exhalation
Heats the gritty solid of the heart
And with his breath expands
My heart until a wider vessel is created,
Until my heart's capacity is such
The whole world can be embraced in love."
For this week of thanksgiving, Beginner's Grace is 30% off.

"It was fortunate that the man who had designed and built the ten houses along Hampden Lane in 1788 had built them to the same scale... Lenox's and Lady Jane's houses both had twelve-foot deep basements where the staff could work and live, eight-step front stairs that led to the broad front doors (his was red, hers white), four floors of rooms, and a narrow back garden. It meant they fit together."
