Prayers in the Wilderness: from Selfish to Silent

Sally Silvershoes had been asking God to reveal more of himself and was led to discover that this only happens through prayer, Gods grace, and most often, during wilderness experiences. She traces the development of her prayer life, starting with childhood prayer while growing up in Africa, to praying scripture while living in Canada, and then onto spontaneously individual prayer somewhere between Canada and Australia. The prayer journey culminates in silent, contemplative prayer as kookaburras break the early morning silences on Australias east coast. Sallys adventures in prayer took place amid stretching family circumstances, during short-term mission trips, when serving on mission boards, while teaching English to migrants, and sometimes, when just sitting doing nothing at all.
