I like the fact in the book that to continue to have the readers attention the author uses roomers. For example, in one of the stories the book goes"According to persistant roomers,this is what happened:" and he completes the story. He doesn't do it is one strory he continues it in all of them,but he also has a non-fictional part.
The author Daniel Cohen, displays his knowledge in a creative way. He says "In the begining" to give out
non-fictional details.He tells us about the three waves of UFOexploration."The first one began in 1947 there was initial interest in UFOexplorarion, but later it faded. Spectaculr sightingsin Michigan interested a lot of people and finally we are in the third wave supposedly the best of all because of the technology we have."
I love the part were Daniel Cohen tells us about the stories
that have affected human lives. Although if I had to choose one it would be the Cosmic watergate it is a wonderful story and the author uses several refrences to it. That will have to be my favorite part in the book.

"Uncommon Prayer" is composed essentially of three elements. The first of the elements are the poems Berrigan wrote after reflection upon selected Psalms--they form the beginning of each chapter. Each chapter also contains a reflection written by Berrigan on his poem. The third element (and an indispensable one) that makes up the book are the stunning illustrations by Robert McGovern. Some of his illustrations throttled my soul.
Much of the reflection in "Uncommon Prayer" centers on human suffering and its relation to God. Subjects like life in prison and other horrors of the modern world are covered. Berrigan takes the Psalmist's ancient cries of anguish and suffering and appropriates them for our modern age.
Berrigan's personal involvement with many of the areas he describes gives this book an added power. The man who writes about how horrible prison is does so because he has been there (and not "just visiting" mind you).
The book was written when America was in a time of political upheaval. However, it does not, at least for me, "date itself." Instead, Berrigan's righteous passion and fervor for the oppressed and threatened stirs within me a sense of holy anger at my own quiet complacency when it comes to social justice.
The most powerful chapter for me was the reflection on Psalm 130. Berrigan reflects at length on "crying out from the depths." It is a powerful statement about the God we can cry out to...especially from the depths. I won't say more. You MUST read it for yourself.
I highly recommend this book.
Each profile contains the anthropological insights of people. It includes the religious belief, world view, kinship, occupation, economic status,languages spoken and social status. The geographical locations where these people are living is given in colorful maps. The photographs of people in mutli-color in an added attraction.
Resource information regarding the evangelistic tools for reaching these people groups are listed. Also the organisations that are focussing and working among the people groups are listed.
This book is an ideal guide for any person who is interested in India. It is a guide for praying individuals, prayer groups and churches and mission agencies. The Mission agencies and churches who wish to be involved in missions in India can use this book for guidance. All theological institutions and Bible colleges around the world should have a copy in their library for reference. Anthropologists and sociologists can acquire this for their library.
