For many people, prayer is an essential part of daily life, connecting them with God, a force or the universe, bringing them, among other things, assistance and protection. Others cannot imagine being so dependent upon a concept they can neither justify nor comprehend.

In Amen, Gretta Vosper, United Church minister and author of the controversial bestseller With or Without God, offers us her deeply felt examination of worship beyond conventional prayer, and a call to a new tradition that can survive beyond the beliefs that divide.

GRETTA VOSPER is pastor of West Hill United Church in Toronto and founder of the Canadian Centre for Progressive Christianity, an organization that provides resources and support to those exploring the boundaries of Christian thought both within and outside their congregations. She received her master of divinity from Queen’s Theological College and was ordained in 1992. Resources she creates for spiritual gatherings within or outside church are used internationally. Vosper is the author of the national bestseller With or Without God and is a highly sought speaker. Visit her online at www.grettavosper.ca or follow her on Twitter @grettavosper.
