"Call On Me is an excellent resource both for those who are new to the Book of Common Prayer and those who have lived with the BCP their entire lives. I am reminded of why we do what we do in liturgy – thanks for the refresher! Call On Me marks the rhythm of our days – those sacred moments, the everyday moments, and everything in between. The prayers are beautifully written and created with much care and concern for our young people. I am thankful that families and teens have this “gold mine” of prayers at their fingertips. Call On Me is the book I always wanted and needed as a youth minister!"—Sara Bailey, Director of Youth Ministries at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Greensboro, NC and Lead Consultant for Youth Ministry Architects."Call on Me belongs on the bookshelf of every youth, parent, youth minister and clergy of the Church. It is a rich resource for personal devotion, corporate worship and formation purposes. Praying does shape believing. This book will be instrumental in deepening the faith of all those who use it."—The Rt. Rev. Brian Prior, Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota "Jenifer and Sharon know the beauty and transforming power of prayer, and it shows. Call on Me invites and guides young readers to engage with God in and around the events of their everyday lives. The frank teaching and prayers, written in the first-person and often drawn from ancient mystics, meet the challenge of finding a relevant rhetoric for timeless truths."—Lisa Kimball, Ph.D., Director of the Center for the Ministry of Teaching and Professor of Christian Formation and Congregational Leadership, Virginia Theological Seminary
