"What an incredibly sweet book! The prayers are eloquently written by Hope Lyda and are illustrated beautifully by Annie LaPoint. This book will be such a great way to encourage your friends by engaging with the Creator of the Universe in prayer! Not only that, but once you are finished, it will lace your coffee table as a gorgeous accent!" --Cindy Beall, author of Healing Your Marriage When Trust Is Broken "Prayers for My Dear Friend touched me greatly. This book was a delight to receive, but I think it might be an even greater gift to give since the gift would let someone close to you know that you are praying for them. Annie LaPoint's drawings were whimsical and rich in color and theme, providing a perfect counterpoint to Hope Lyda's thoughtful and powerful words. This is more than just a gift book, this book is a gift." --Cara Strickland "What an amazing book! The prayers, scripture and illustrations all fit together beautifully to create a book that warms the heart. It contains the poignant thoughts, inspiration and prayers we all wish we could say, but often words fail us. Reading the book is like getting a huge hug that simply makes you feel loved! The topics are varied, so whatever your mood or place in life, there is a section that will reach out to you. I wholeheartedly recommend this book!" --Aimee Petra
