"Prayer is God's gift to us, a banquet of good things to feed our inner life, as we respond to the invitation to his feast of peace, forgiveness, challenge and love." If our lives are an open book to God, prayer is the dialogue we share with him over its pages. The Book of a Thousand Prayers is a collection of wise and honest prayers to God about his concerns and ours: who he is to us and who we are to him, and how we experience life, death, relationships, the church, and the world. Ideal for private prayer and public worship, and containing practical advice on how to pray, this book offers a spiritual feast that will nourish you for the rest of your life. "A moving and inspiring medley of prayers--an invaluable aid for individuals, home groups, and those people who lead worship." --Joyce Huggett
Brilliant and original, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers introduces a remarkable new writer whose breathtaking stories are set in China and among Chinese Americans in the United States. In this rich, astonishing collection, Yiyun Li illuminates how mythology, politics, history, and culture intersect with personality to create fate. From the bustling heart of Beijing, to a fast-food restaurant in Chicago, to the barren expanse of Inner Mongolia, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers reveals worlds both foreign and familiar, with heartbreaking honesty and in beautiful prose. “Immortality,” winner of The Paris Review’s Plimpton Prize for new writers, tells the story of a young man who bears a striking resemblance to a dictator and so finds a calling to immortality. In “The Princess of Nebraska,” a man and a woman who were both in love with a young actor in China meet again in America and try to reconcile the lost love with their new lives. “After a Life” illuminates the vagaries of marriage, parenthood, and gender, unfolding the story of a couple who keep a daughter hidden from the world. And in “A Thousand Years of Good Prayers,” in which a man visits America for the first time to see his recently divorced daughter, only to discover that all is not as it seems, Li boldly explores the effects of communism on language, faith, and an entire people, underlining transformation in its many meanings and incarnations. These and other daring stories form a mesmerizing tapestry of revelatory fiction by an unforgettable writer.

See James P. Sweeney as the grumpy old man on Nat Geo's Ultimate Survivor Alaska airing Sunday nights. His quotes are hilarious and his actions are strong. Tune in and see this living legend. His book A Thousand Prayers is the ultimate survival story. A month after the Exxon Valdez runs aground on Bligh Reef, experienced mountaineer James P. Sweeney Jr. and his buddy Dave Nyman are ascending Alaska's Mount Johnson. A fall sends Jim hurtling a hundred feet down the mountainside. His femur is fractured, his hip is dislocated, and his head is bleeding. As Dave desperately struggles to lower his friend to safety, the mountain throws one avalanche after another at them. Barely conscious, Jim is left overnight in a wet sleeping bag perched precariously on a flat spot on the mountainside while Dave skis twelve miles up the Ruth Glacier to the Mountain House, only to discover that the only help available comes from four inexperienced skiers who are ill prepared for a dangerous rescue mission. On day four, a hard landing by a passing light plane leaves the pilot and his passengers-including his pregnant wife-stranded at the Mountain House without any survival gear. All told, Jim spends over a week on the mountainside, enduring avalanches and deadly blizzards. A harrowing true tale of courage and endurance, Jim's story has been featured in magazines and newspapers, and even dramatized on the Discovery Channel's I Shouldn't Be Alive.
