Elizabeth Felicetti underwent aggressive treatment for both breast and lung cancer in the space of a few months--and then the cancer came back. As Episcopal priests, they know well the typical prayers offered in times like these. But when you're seriously sick, you need more than psalms and sentimentality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e You need to tell God how you \u003ci\u003ereally \u003c\/i\u003efeel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With vulnerability and wry humor, Felicetti and Vincent-Alexander share the prayers they wish they had when they were ill: thanksgiving for one-size-fits-all hospital underwear, curses against Tylenol, frustrated appeals when well-wishers call you brave or inspiring. At once faithful and brutally honest, these prayers offer readers a more candid way of communicating with the God who understands human suffering with an incarnational intimacy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Talking to God when you're fighting serious illness can feel impossible.
