Women of Prayer

This anthology of prayers is by women, for women. The wide range of topics, concerns and emotions covered in the collection shows that it is impossible to define "women's interests". Included are all sorts of prayers from all sorts of women from across the centuries and across the world. The prayers are arranged by theme in three main parts: "Women and God", "Our everyday lives" and "The wider world". Within each category there are numerous subject headings, making it easy to locate prayers on a particular topic. The book not only provides a helpful way into prayer for women, but should be a useful resource for all those involved in leading groups. Indexes by subject and prayer writer, plus brief biographical sketches of many of the contributors are also included. Dorothy M. Stewart is the author of "Bluff Your Way in Publishing".
