Show Notes:27. Janet McHenry — The Writer and Prayer

Franz Kafka is known to have said that: “Writing is prayer.” It has proved true in my own writing as well.

Janet McHenry joins me to talk about her area of expertise, prayer. Her book, The Complete Guide to the Prayers of Jesus looks at the recorded prayers of Jesus throughout the gospels. We talk about the challenges of prayer and the role of prayer in the life of a writer.

  • Domes, pastries, paintings and our last day in Paris.
  • Germany was great. And I do love Paris.
  • Come all the way to Germany and found out my friend @karlvaters was speaking to German pastors twenty minutes away. The world is small.
  • Ashley and I are spending the week in Germany doing work with The Warriors Journey. TWJ is doing amazing work with the military community stationed here.
  • There have been intense negotiations in my house about getting a new dog. I have been arguing that we wait till summer… so we got one in last week. Charlotte got Lucy for her seventh birthday this weekend.
