Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Waiting in Gratitude : Prayers of Joy
Walter Brueggemann · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Adam Verner
78/100
👍 Worth It
Brueggemann's prayers move honestly from lament into joy instead of skipping straight to gratitude, and reviewers single out how creative and non-repetitive they are for a scholar's prayer collection. It's not a traditional narrative arc, so it suits dipping in for devotion more than a straight-through listen, but Adam Verner's christianaudio production handles the material with care.
