What if there was something you could do-something simple, yet

so powerful-that could positively influence others and change your life

in the process? Critically acclaimed author River Jordan discovered

that very thing... As 2009 approached, both of River Jordan's sons were about to go

off to war-one to Iraq and the other to Afghanistan-and she was

planning a family reunion to see them off. All River could do was pray

for her sons' safety and hope to maintain her strength, until she

unexpectedly came upon the perfect New Year's resolution-one that

focused on others instead of herself. She would pray for a complete

stranger every single day of the year.

In Praying for Strangers, Jordan tells that the discovery

that she made along the journey was not simply that her prayers touched

the lives of these strangers (in often astounding ways), but that the

unexpected connections she made with other people would be a profound

experience that would change her life forever.
