Sticky Note Prayers is the remarkable story of how a few pioneering prayer spaces in schools grew to become the global movement it is today. Phil Sokell-Miles, international director of Prayer Spaces in Schools, was there when some of those first pupils got to explore prayer in this unique way and weaves together the stories of prayer space leaders, teachers and chaplains, and of course the experience of the many children and young people who have stepped into a prayer space.

‘I spent two hours close to tears as the pupil’s responses took my breath away. I knew that they would enjoy being somewhere different and doing something unusual. What I wasn’t prepared for was the depth with which they would engage with the prayer space.’ – Head of Religious Education (RE), UK

‘I don’t even believe in all that stuff, but I could feel God in there!’ – Pupil, 16

Full of advice and practical wisdom, the book is both moving and honest about the realities of pupils’ curiosity about prayer, their struggles with life and the difference being in a prayer space has made to their lives. Throughout it inspires, informs and above all invites the reader to join in and be part of the adventure of what God is doing in our schools through this rapidly growing movement.

‘Sticky Note Prayers is a brilliant, page-turning story. I breezed through this book with a smile on my face and a growing fire burning in my heart. Phil’s passion so effortlessly comes through in the book’s stories, and the suggested exercises are clear, practical, and liveable. Most notably, this is an incarnated message, and nothing speaks louder than the message we’ve lived.’
