Erik Walker Wikstrom is the author of several books, including Serving With Grace: Lay Leadership as a Spiritual Practice; Teacher, Guide, Companion: Rediscovering Jesus in a Secular World; and Simply Pray: A Modern Spiritual Practice to Deepen Your Life. He has served as minister for congregations in Yarmouth, Maine; Brewster, Massachusetts; and Charlottesville, Virginia.
“Simply Pray is an excellent and much needed bridge for people who struggle with a way to pray that is authentic to them and their sense of the Holy. Not only does Wikstrom help readers to understand the four fundamental forms of prayer shared by all major religions, but he offers a practical new form of prayer based on a modern use of prayer beads. A great many people realize that they need a fresh, steady spiritual practice and an understanding that opens their larger being to the Sacred amidst cultural pressures. This book goes a long way toward feeding the hunger of such people with a nourishing spiritual feast. You will not be disappointed in the practical yet deep wisdom drawn from the world’s faith traditions found throughout its pages.” —Rev. Dr. Tilden Edwards, Founder and Senior Fellow, Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation
