Life has its ups and downs, and it can feel like we're always in
the middle of a transition. Whether it's a painful end or a joyful
beginning--or even an uncertain middle--theologian and minister Amy
Davis Abdallah has found something that helps: rituals. In Meaning
in the Moment, she shows why we need rituals to help survive and
even thrive through various seasons of life. Starting with the
foundation that rituals are a core, and underexplored, part of
Christian practice, Davis Abdallah draws from theology, psychology,
and personal experiences in creating rituals for herself and
others. She offers practical guidance for readers to create their
own meaningful rituals, including three types requiring varying
levels of planning and participation: right now, with friends, and
at church. Readers will emerge with fresh ways to bring their faith
to life for themselves, their families, and their church
communities--and ready to experience the transformative power of
rituals. The book includes a foreword by W. David O.
Taylor.

There are many questions that surround Christian womanhood: What
does it mean? When does it happen; at a certain age, status, or
maturity? How do we know we're no longer girls? And when we've
figured that out, how will others know how to recognise us as a
"woman" rather than a "girl"? After all, Christian women don't
usually get a rite of passage in which they are named a "woman".
Seeing this need, Amy Davis Abdallah has created such a rite, and
this book accompanies it; there is no need to go through her rite
of passage, however, to name yourself a "woman". The Book of
Womanhood creates a path through the confusion that surrounds the
identity of women by its flexible framework, developing the
reader's understanding of a woman's relationship with God, their
self, others and creation. Amy writes simply as one perhaps further
along in her journey of womanhood than most, and she doesn't write
alone; she includes the stories of Biblical women, of friends young
and old, and even more. The diverse voices come together as a cloud
of witnesses encouraging us in our individual journeys. The Book of
Womanhood is about recognition, reaching out not only to women, but
also to men who seek to understand and empower their wives,
daughters, and friends to be the women God has formed them to be.
Read for empowerment; read for transformation. Read and become the
woman of God you were created to be.
