Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

For shaman and popular author Andrews (Medicine Woman), the act of prayer is a way of opening the center of one's being to the unity of the universe. Prayer thus fosters an attitude of awareness and receptivity, which enables the human soul to interact with the Great Spirit of nature. In order to guide and encourage individuals, Andrews gathers prayers from the world's native religious traditions and fashions them into a prayer book arranged according to the seasons of nature. Using the natural seasons to symbolize the seasons of human life, the author collects prayers in each section that address the rhythms of humankind's activity in the world. For example, the section on Spring, or "Planting Seeds," contains prayers for the birth of children while the section on Winter, or "Taking Stock," offers prayers for times of sadness and prayers for times of death. Andrews's rich tapestry illuminates the value of prayer in coping with the stress and anxieties of everyday life.

From Library Journal

Likening the seasons of human life to the four seasons of nature, best-selling author Andrews (Woman at the Edge of Two Worlds, HarperCollins, 1994) has collected a variety of prayers from the world's native traditions into a prayer manual designed to guide seekers through the spiritual upheavals of life. For example, prayers for the summer, when life is in "full bloom," include one celebrating puberty and one celebrating the joys of marriage and relationships. Andrews demonstrates the power of prayer to foster an attitude of openness and gratitude of the soul to the spirit of the universe. For libraries where Andrews's works are popular.

This is an "open and read" book. There is no place to start or no ending, just wonderful words to read out loud! I really enjoy this book, often!
