Part prayer collection, part memoir, this book features 52
reflections on great prayers throughout history, from Psalms and
Isaiah and such noted theologians as Augustine, C.S. Lewis, and
Thomas Merton.
Prayer changes things. It is a stress-reliever. It's a
chain-breaker. It's a peace-bringer, and it's necessary for every
child of God no matter their age or experience. Throughout history,
women have been especially powerful in taking up the mantle of
prayer. It is largely the prayers of women that establish the
spiritual sanctuary of their family. Praying women warriors fight
against oppression and injustice. Their prayers defend the innocent
and the untrained. And through their prayers they are seen as
shining examples in the darkness of the world. This journal gives
you the space to write out your prayers and note how they are
answered. It will give you a place to continue your progressive
march of empowerment by dreaming like your daughters and praying
like your grandmothers.
