Biography & Autobiography. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML: 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. .… (més)

Lovely book. Very inspiring. I liked the short chapters that made it a perfect bedtime read. Each chapter is a story of one of the strangers she met. She recounts the challenges and triumphs. I did wonder if she ever ran into someone who was upset or angry at her approach. The uplifting message made for a pleasant night and encouragement for the morning. I definitely want to try my own resolution. What a gift River Jordan has given the world if just a few of us continue her challenge to pray for strangers that cross our paths! (
