Here is a compilation of prayers from five of Annie Heppenstall's previous books. Annie says, 'Each one of my books celebrates the awe of this beautiful world we live in, but also acknowledges that life can be very challenging as we struggle with personal circumstances and questions of faith.'
In this book, you will find prayers
• celebrating the wonder of the natural world • using inclusive and feminine imagery for God • reinterpreting traditional Christian prayers, • in inclusive language • of time and season • in the Celtic tradition • for tree planting, place blessing and pet funerals • to honour women's stages of life from menarche to menopause • seeking a way through loss, illness and anxiety • seeking peace in difficult relationships, including within church communities • expressing wonder at divine love and much more!
The index enables prayers to be traced to their original sources.
