Life Coach & Pastor Douglas K Fletcher, PhD, Releases Inspiring New Book 'The Only Prayer You'll Ever Need: Unleashing Your Best Life'

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C., Jan. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As a trained life coach and pastor, author Douglas K Fletcher, PhD, is committed to working to deepen conversations and foster greater understanding of ourselves and others in churches, communities, workplaces, and families. Fletcher found in the Lord's Prayer, a prayer often recited from memory in church on Sunday, a guide to a more meaningful daily life and a frame for our most important conversations with others.

In his book, "The Only Prayer You'll Ever Need: Unleashing Your Best Life," Fletcher shows how the Lord's Prayer invites the reader into seven critical conversations about perspective, hope, trust, current wants and needs, forgiveness and generosity, self-awareness, and gratitude. These conversations offer a path to a fuller life and deeper relationships with others, and provide a way to reach across divisions and build bridges and relationships with people who may be very different from ourselves. These messages are much needed in today's polarized world, and Fletcher's book is a valuable resource for individuals, small groups, and congregation and community-wide conversations about important issues such as race relations and dealing with a pandemic.

"Many people are familiar with the Lord's Prayer, but typically recite it and miss the extraordinary treasure hidden in front of us," said Fletcher. "In fact, the prayer is a teaching prayer that invites us into seven conversations with God and to live with aspirations fully to become the people we were created to be, as well as to understand our profound connection with others."

"What a gift 'The Only Prayer You'll Ever Need' is! It challenges the reader to examine the words of prayer and use them as a framework to achieve our best life. Never have we needed this book more than in today's challenging world of COVID-19 and this time of a necessary reckoning leading to racial and social unrest. Thank you, Douglas Fletcher, for inspiring us to reach greater heights through simple, transformative conversations with God." – Jane T. Upshaw, distinguished chancellor emerita, University of South Carolina Beaufort, current chair of the Pat Conroy Literary Center Board of Directors

Fletcher also has a discussion guide that can be used along with his book for small groups that is available on his website, http://www.douglaskfletcher.com.
