Description
Forget about whispering sweet nothings into the ether—“Rage Praying” is about turning your pent-up frustrations, daily annoyances, and righteous anger into a raw and transformative dialogue with a higher power who's ready to listen. Fed up with injustice, environmental neglect, or just the jerk who stole your parking spot? Good. Priest and social media sensation, Elizabeth Riley, has you covered, with a prayer for every peeve and a mantra for every meltdown. Dive into this daring collection and discover the liberating power of a spiritual practice that doesn't just understand your inner turmoil but welcomes it with open arms. That means you can say goodbye to the guilt of having not-so-holy thoughts and embrace a spiritual journey that's as real and messy as life itself. With Rage Prayers, you'll learn to channel your inner fury into a profound and unapologetically honest communion with the divine.
It's time to stop suppressing and start expressing. Grab your copy, let it all out, and get ready to turn your spiritual life upside down—in the best way possible.
Advance Praise
"Our spirituality does not only exist in positivity and there is something painfully beautiful in that honesty. Elizabeth captures all of our humanness in Rage Prayers and explores the side of ourselves that is often ignored from pulpits: lamenting. God is not scared of our pain. It is part of us all. Part of the divine. And should be part of our prayers. There is something in this book for everyone and I'm thankful to have these pages to return to on darker days."
—April Ajoy, author of Star-Spangled Jesus
"Elizabeth Ashman Riley boldy invites us to pray our whole truth, encouraging us to trust that God can handle it all. Through her personal stories of tumultuous times and a clear understanding of a more expansive theology than many of us received growing up, she helps to liberate us from toxic positivity and the pervasive fear that God is not present in the messiness of our lives. My hope is that people of all different faith traditions (and none!) read this book and explore how we can bring our whole selves to the divine."
—Liz Tichenor, author of The Night Lake: A Young Priest Maps the Topography of Grief
"With honesty and depth of faith, Rage Prayers invites the reader into an intimate and raw encounter with God. This book is the permission slip you need if you've ever worried God couldn't handle your deepest woes, or anger, or confusion. Riley's expressions of unspoken and too-taboo conversations with the Divine offer, as she herself puts it, ‘radical and ridiculous hope’ to ‘give way to something beautiful and true.’"
—Rev. Lizzie McManus-Dail, author of God Didn't Make Us to Hate Us
"I cannot tell you how thankful I am for this new resource. Like evil, rage is real. Sometimes it’s really all we have. This book comes from a seasoned, thoughtful, prayerful, compassionate, loving pastor and guide. Rev. Elizabeth Riley is, and has always been, a gift to those she pastors, and now she has given us this gift, Rage Prayers."
—Rt. Rev. Gregory Rickel, VIII Bishop of Olympia, Resigned

WOW. Seriously, wow. I hadn’t previously heard of Rev Riley until Net Galley sent me this book and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to read it and also now follow her on socials. Some of these prayers spoke to me so personally… I felt seen in a way I really needed. All of them are so beautifully and uniquely written. What a gift this author has to share with the world! I’ll be recommending this book to anyone who will listen.
