| Summary |
"From worshipping God as ruler or father to envisioning a holy life as a military campaign, women have been taught to approach the Divine with the hearts and minds of men. This offers women a new way to pray. Drawing on feminine images of God-and on the language and experience of women--it helps women tap into their own rich and unique spirituality. |
|
Readers will find a wealth of prayers from a variety of traditions-early Christian, Native American, and others. With a liturgical calendar honoring the lives of women of all faiths, along with rituals for group celebrations such as weddings and the welcoming of a child, She Who Prays will help women speak to God in their own voices."--Jacket. |
