“Bead by Bead is not just a book about an old way to pray. This is a deft and frolicking journey. As Southern raconteur, jarring theologian, and reluctant prayer warrior, Henley invites us to walk out the door and see the whole world aglow with the shimmering beads of the Holy Spirit.”
-Sybil MacBeth, author of Praying in Color and The Season of the Nativity
“What a beautiful exploration of hurt and heart, love and loss, gratitude and thanksgiving, all within the fascinating framework of prayer beads. Henley’s unique collection of stories provide healing and hope for anyone navigating the tumultuous twists and turns of life. In other words, this is a book for everyone.”
-Julie Cantrell, New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of Perennials
“With insight, passion, and wit, Henley shows us how to hold our prayers in our hands as well as our heart.”
-Richard Rohr, founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation; author of Falling Upward and Immortal Diamond
