Knitting into the Mystery: A Guide to The Shawl Knitting Ministry KNITTERS- there are some 38 million of them in the United States alone - are part of a tradition that's both plainly practical and deeply spiritual. With needles clicking, they weave together not just garments to warm the body but also comfort and companionship to nurture the soul.

As they create shawls for others, their handwork becomes an expression of their love - and of the loving care of the God who works through them. Knitting into the Mystery shares the stories of how this ministry has touch lives and hearts around the world. It offers directions for knitting the shawls and for starting a parish or community knitting ministry. It also provides a selection of prayers, written from many faith traditions, to offer with each completed shawl.

This is a book of Bible teaching on prayer. It is not a book of philosophy nor reasoning about what is or is not possible or probable about prayer. The book is written on the simple basis that there is a God who has revealed His will in the Bible, an infallible book. The Bible teaches that God delights to answer prayer. The Bible gives us many great and exceedingly precious promises about what God will do for those who come to Him in prayer, and the Bible clearly gives the conditions for getting things from God. To this author prayer is a very simple and blessed matter of going to God daily for what one needs and desires, and getting it, and living in the fullness of joy of answered prayer which Jesus promised in John 16:24. "Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." - Author's preface.
