Review Quotes

"These prayers claim the special gift it is to be a woman, the holiness God gave us in being born of woman, the apostolic vocation of another Mary, first to witness resurrection. These prayers claim assurance that in Christ all are one, neither male nor female to be elevated above the other. These prayers remind us that we most often meet God in the daily work of feeding, healing, nurturing, cleaning, listening, encouraging - blessings all." -Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church USA fc "The book is a rich resource for worship, reflection, personal devotion and action. It is a gift to those who believe in the rightness and in the power of prayer to bring about healing and wholeness especially for those who suffer needlessly, innocently and too often, so unjustly." - SirReadaLot.org "An impressive book of prayers by women committed to changing the world."- Episcopal Life
