This is the description for a column in Miracles magazine (Jon Mundy, publisher; Glenn Hovemann, editor):
Celia Hales has just published Words to God from the Heart of a Believer: Prayers & Poems. Seven categories of prayers range from “cocooned” (by God and love), to overcoming stress, praying about others, and guidance (receiving the help we so often need). Fifty sonnets range from “In Plea to God” (a request that God shape us gently but without softness), to “Does God Hide?,” and “Trust & Love” (twin pillars of our new era). Available from Amazon in both print ($3.93) and e-book ($2.99), 113 pages.

This is the description from the Amazon web page:
Celia Hales composes prayers on the page, mostly first thing in the morning, imploring God’s help as the day unfolds. She exhibits an uplifting encouragement that the reader move ever more closely toward loving God, our God who loves us first but who always encourages our response.
Celia’s religious (“divine”) sonnets never see God as external to the self, but always as a comforting inner guide for anyone seeking to live in the shadow of the divine. She uses 17th century nomenclature, drawing on the sonnet styls of both William Shakespeare (for the stanza) and John Donne (for the spiritual themes).
These prayers and poems exhibit Celia’s profound intimacy with spirituality as the reader is invited to commune with God in both prayer, and the rhyme and rhythm of poetry.
–Thanks very much, Celia Hales
