Taken from the pages of the Apocrypha are words of faith and wisdom, which can serve to encourage us in our most trying times, and enlightenment us as we search for God. Selected for this book are four texts. Two are short but powerful prayers uttered while in the depths of immediate and seemingly hopeless circumstances. Supported only by a firm faith and total trust in God, the individuals cried out to and waited for a divine response. We offer these to listeners who may feel entrapped in their circumstances. The other two texts are books of wisdom. One purports to be written by Solomon and the other by Sirach. Both books offer the listener words of wisdom, insight, and guidance for both our inner and external journey in life.
