Book Review: A Year of Living Prayerfully by Jared Brock

I just finished reading and rereading A Year of Living Prayerfully: How a Curious Traveler Met the Pope, Walked on Coals, Danced with Rabbis, and Revived His Prayer Life by Jared Brock. He's an amusing storyteller so his book was fun and interesting. My prayer life before Jared's book was dismal. He has truly inspired me. Whether you pray or not, Jared's book is entertaining as he explores Judeo-Christian prayer traditions around the world. I highly recommend his book.

From Amazon.com, here are a few of Jared's adventures:
* Dances with Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn;
* Discovers the 330-year-old home of Brother Lawrence;
* Burns his clothes at the end of the Camino de Santiago;
* Attends the world's largest church in Seoul;
* Visits Westboro Baptist Church;
* Tries to stay out of trouble in North Korea;
* Attempts fire walking (with only minor burns).
