Book excerpt: After a near-death experience following a prolonged back surgery in 1973, Neva Balduff began a spiritual search to help her incorporate her powerful experience. Through prayer and meditation, she began 'receiving' poetry, prose, and original musical compositions. When her husband became critically ill in 2005, she spent the next two years caring for him and was inspired to keep a journal of this challenging time. The journal evolved into a book of Uncommon Prayers, poems through which Neva expressed feelings ranging from frustration to gratitude. It is her hope that these writings will be helpful to others who are experiencing difficult times, times when faith in God is the only thing that can keep body and soul together.
