Stress Less Pray More by Donna K.Maltese A Woman's Devotional Guide to Tranquil Living

I choose to read Stress Less Pray More by Donna K.Maltese A Woman's Devotional Guide to Tranquil Living by Barbour Publishing because I live in a rural countryside where where prayers have been an important role for the community and where the contact with God is still important.
Sure: we live in a material world, pretty busy, where distractions are many, a different life-style in comparison to the one lived decades ago by our ancestors keep us distant from God and prayers most of the time.
There is no time for God it seems; not as in the remote past where there were precise moments, in particular after dinner, all dedicated to God, and where, in the families it was impossible to...escape away from prayers, rosary and so on.
Our life is made by a different society, our roles with the time changed, and responsibilities increased; a family counts a lot of stress and work for a woman and at the end of the day leave exhausted, too stressed for saying a prayer, for thanking Lord for this life.
This book contains 180 readings and prayers for every woman. Praying is not just an obligation, it's also an occasion for saying to God thanks for this life, for being alive, for support us and for being close to us.
These readings want to reduce the stress of our dail- life and are made for spending some moments with God; precious readings for reflecting about life and for restoring our contact with God.
Every reading starts with a verse from the Scripture, a reflection and a a final prayer.

It's a beautiful, inspiring and at the same time profound, meditative book.

I thank NetGalley and Barbour for this eBook.
