Reviews:

"In Ash and Starlight, Arianne Lehn enters life fully, bringing all it contains into her relationship with the Holy. Here you will find tender prayers resonant with hope, the kind that sail freely on days of joy and stay afloat during times of turmoil. No matter what kind of day you've had, there s a prayer waiting for you." ----Joyce Rupp, author of Anchors for the Soul: Daily Wisdom for Inspiration and Guidance

"As a busy working mom, I crave moments of spiritual connection but need to find them in the cracks of my everyday life. Arianne Lehn's book provides just the right words at just the right time. This book is perfect for setting on a bedside table and picking up for a prayer here and there, when I need it most. Written with tenderness and concern, Ash and Starlight is like having a spiritual director on call, to page whenever I need her." ----Traci Smith, author of Faithful Families: Creating Sacred Moments at Home

"This is a time when the voice of faith with its claims, its risks, and its daring must be articulated with venturesome freshness. Arianne Lehn responds to that requirement and here offers a rich catalogue of prayers that are open, inviting, and elusive enough for many entry points. Her imaginative probes are deeply linked to scripture, playful enough to be a fitting match for the playfulness of scripture. It is exactly, as she says in her subtitle, a moment for grace and chaos. Those who engage this book will find courage for chaos and receptivity for grace." ----Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
