- Summary:
-
"This collection celebrates the rich variety of ways women around the world have called out to the Divine - with words of joy, praise, gratitude, wonder, petition, and even anger - from the ancient world up to our own day." "The prayers come from a broad spectrum of spiritual traditions East and West, including medieval Christian mystics, ancient Greeks, Australian Aboriginals, Native Americans, Jewish poets, and Buddhist nuns. Together they provide an eloquent expression of women's inner lives, and of the practical, mysterious, painful, and joyous endeavor that prayer is." "Women Pray will challenge your preconceived ideas about prayer. It will inspire you to explore new ways of prayerful expression and new possibilities for your own spiritual journey. This is a book to treasure and share."--BOOK JACKET.
