5.0 out of 5 stars Womenpsalms, November 20, 2006

By	cortezhill (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Through their poems, prayers, and stories, the seventy-nine authors in Womenspsalms reflect on their experiences as Christian women in the 1990's. These "womenpsalms" cover a wide range of experience: giving birth, baking bread, hiking the Appalacian Trail. and facing death. The emotions expressed span the spectrum as well: from solidarity, anger, grief, and pain, to joy, celebration, and thanksgiving. Such a wide array of selections makes this volumne a valuable and versatile resource for personal prayer and reflection, group gatherings, or special prayer services.

Womenpsalms is by women, but it is not solely for women. The selections can serve as a bridge between the sexes and open up communication on difficult topics, and readers are invited to use their own experiences and reflections as a way of prayer. Womenpsalms will also foster a sense of solidarity among women across generations and will send an affirming message to the next generation of women about respecting themselves and trusting their experiences.
