Book Reviews of Sister Wendy on Prayer
Book Review: Standing unprotected before God
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book, not only for what Sister Wendy tells us about prayer, but also for what we learn about Sister Wendy herself through the far-too-brief biography which forms the first part of the book. Sister Wendy lives out the things she writes about, and we get a fascinating glimpse into the daily routine of this unusual hermit, who is also a television personality and respected art critic. The book is quite short, simply because Sister Wendy considers prayer to be such a simple act that there is very little to be said about it. To pray, she says, is to stand unprotected before God. And what will God do? He will take possession of us.
I urge everyone to read this book, to relish the reproductions of paintings scattered throughout, which Sister Wendy uses to illustrate what she wants to say, and above all, to use it as a basis for doing what she urges - standing unprotected before God.
