Unexpected sources of grace and faithfulness fill the pages of Praying from the Free-Throw Line--For Now by Minka Sprague, a deacon of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of New York. In fifty-six intensely personal essays, she explores relationships--mother, sister, daughter, deacon, student, professor--urging us to an appreciation of community, a state that can be, at times, contentious and chaotic, but that always leads us closer to God. We can never be certain where this distinctive, funny, sometimes irreverent voice will lead, but the path is challenging and provocative. Minka Sprague takes us on a faith journey that transcends geographical and denominational lines.(128 pp)
