All Through the Night: Prayers and Readings from Dusk to Dawn

Nighttime signifies many things. Apart from the rest & refreshment that sleep brings, the night can be a time for gazing at the stars, dreaming, & loving. For most people, there are occasions when the night brings no relief -- when we are worried or afraid, trouble never looms larger than in the early sleepless hours. Yet such times also can lead to a richer experience of intercession, meditation, & contemplation. These experiences of the night are universal & have inspired poetry, prayers, lullabies, songs, & stories through the ages. This wide-ranging collection is the perfect bedside companion & will help soothe us to sleep, dispel nighttime fears, & attune us to the gifts & opportunities that each new day brings.
