Annie Deddens is a Catholic writer and, with her husband, John-Paul, the heart of Pray More Novenas, the online ministry that has helped hundreds of thousands of Catholics worldwide rediscover the beauty of novena prayer. Her own story is woven through with novenas — she and John-Paul met after she prayed a novena to St. Anne — and together they also lead online retreats for Advent and Lent through the Pray More Retreat.
For Ascension, Annie co-authored the Pocket Guide to Novenas with John-Paul — a beautiful, compact collection of twenty novenas, most of them newly composed, with gentle guidance on what novenas are, where they come from, and how to pray them with confidence and hope.
