Description
A collection of prayers and poems that seek to discover and recover God and to explore a new language of prayer. Carola Moosbach is concerned to give voice to those whose lives and experiences are ignored by the church and society, victims of abuse and social injustice. But she also discovers "traces of heaven" in everyday life, in times of trouble and times of joy, and conveys a hope in the power and tenderness of God's love.
