Why I purchased this book This book was recommended to me from a Church member who has been visiting me and my daughter during a very rough time in our lives. Since it is a book written by women for women I decided to purchase one for us. Although we don't read it daily, we have found it has some wonderful passages for anyone who needs a little extra support during difficult times.
Open your heart I was looking for a gift and found this "gift" for my heart. Simply open this charming collection of prayers to any page and find a message one needs to hear.
Excellent as a devotional prayer journal for women. There are prayers for all occasions. Women from all walks of life can find a prayer for the problem or blessing they are encountering.
a rich resource! this is a fabulous resource for all those who are looking to enhance their worship experiences with prayers from a group of people that are usually not utilized in traditional worship- women!
Refreshing and Timely Prayer Book for Women and Men Thank you Elizabeth, Marjorie and Ann and associates for this exquisite book. It is a remarkable collection of thoughtful, devoted prayers and insights. Truly inspired! Truly welcome! A gift to women and men of faith.
My only disappointment is in the title of the book. The contents are very common indeed to women and are raised in common voice to God. The title, Women's Uncommon Prayers, trivializes and marginalizes the work. The Book of Common Prayer already marginalizes women because of its lack of inclusive language. This title, Women's Uncommon Prayers, perpetuates that by implication that women's work of worship and prayer is uncommon and at the margins of serious prayer and certainly of common / corporate (men and women) worship.
