Prayers To Sophia features fifty prayers drawn from Joyce Rupp's personal journal and share with the reader her relationship with Sophia that is emersed in poetic metaphor and life experience. Also featured are quotations from the Wisdom literature, questions for personal reflections, and suggestions for journaling combined to gently nudge seekers toward their own spiritual journey of discovery. Also highly recommended is Joyce Rupp's early work, The Star In My Heart: Experiencing Sophia, Inner Wisdom.

Prayers to Sophia is a touching and beautiful collection of prayers to a wisdom God. Over and over again, I found Joyce using words to express my own heart feelings when trying to articulate my God experience. I am grateful for her generous, honest and open sharing of her own personal experiences in these prayers.

Joyce Rupp continues to astonish me with her assertive honesty toward the Holy and her vulnerable honesty about herself. She puts into words what many of us don't even know we long for. I am very grateful that it was recommended to ,e.

My copy arrived today, and as an addition to my spiritual practice tailored to meet my individuality, I opened it up randomly to a page where the first line contained the word 'Nurturance.' Once I felt a deep resonance to these words, I knew that I have found another piece along the way...

Beautiful poetry and a great companion to The Star in my Heart. Joyce Rupp envokes peace and calmness through her writings, which makes for great daily meditation.

This book contains many beautiful prayers that are thought provoking and leads into a wonderful part of our spirituality that seeks divine wisdom in all we do.

Joyce Rupp is obviously writing about the worship and prayer to another dead "saint" of Roman Catholics. Practicing necromancy is a gross sin. Necromancy = communication with the dead).

No true Christian would pray to anyone but God through Jesus Christ.
