Over the past year I have created more than thirty Visual Studio LightSwitch HTML Client projects. While creating those projects, I ran into challenges that required me to go deep into the LightSwitch HTML Client API. This book covers the core concepts as well as the use of advanced techniques that I consider important to properly leverage this incredible tool.

This is a book with brief daily invitations to open your soul. I'm inviting you into speaking with God through the practice of centering prayer. In other words, this particular way of praying is about getting you into a way of opening your soul and eventually listening, both to your soul and to God. I think of prayer as a space where God listens to us. Of course, prayer is also a space where you listen to God. My definition of prayer is broad. It means that prayer is speech that you want God to hear. It may or may not begin with a title. You may use a formula; you may not. Prayer is speech that you need God to hear. On the other hand, in prayer, God also says things, communicates things that you need to hear. In listening you are changed. Have you ever listened to your own prayers? Have you ever sensed God's response to your prayerful words? Listening will change you. What is centering prayer and how might it fit in your prayer life? Be open as you read. Be open as you pray.
