Engraved on every penny is a prayer - a prayer that can lift burdens and instill a deep peace, even in the worst of times. "Penny Prayers" is a collection of special moments that give testimony to God's abundance and faithfulness. By saying the penny prayer, "God, I trust in you" we can find hope in the small things...one penny at a time. Marion Amberg collects stories that relate to our everyday lives and provides us with the framework to appreciate the presence of God. God is always present, even in the tiniest of moments of life. It is in these moments that we often find the most meaning if we are attentive. Imagine how a little penny might unveil these stories and tell us the "countless" ways in which God can touch our lives.
