Women's Uncommon Prayers by Elizabeth Geitz

Women's Uncommon Prayers by Elizabeth Geitz

Looking for ways to be strong yet tender, independent yet intimate, women today strive toward ever greater understanding of themselves, their relationships with family and friends, and their place in the world. Written by clergy and lay women from all around the country, this compilation of prayers and poems is the collective wisdom of contemporary women who base their search for such understanding on the belief that all of life must be seen against the backdrop of a vital faith. Offered in a spirit of sharing and encouragement, these prayers and poems are as rich, intricate, and complex as the women's lives they represent. Women’s Uncommon Prayers covers the full spectrum of emotions from desperate pleas for compassion in times of despair to quiet gratitude for the simple blessings of everyday living, to raucous praise during moments of celebration. These prayers touch on an amazing array of topics organized under the categories of identity, daily life, stages of life, spirituality, and ministry. Also included are comprehensive sections of seasonal and corporate prayers.

"A volume perfectly designed for a spot on the night stand beside the bed, to be read before retiring..a rich collection of thoughts and observations that take one deep into the personal lives of many faithful women of the church...Living history that dives deeply into fears, loves, motherhood and doubt and comes up with a cup of fresh, clear water for the soul"
