Synopsis

In this heartfelt work of enlightenment and faith, Brigid Herman attempts to find meaning and value in prayer as a creative process. True prayer, she claims, is "man's loving response to the love of God." And since divine love is the supreme act, then man's only worthy response can be one of unreserved self-giving. Herman's inspired and compassionate views, first published nearly a century ago, make essential reading for anyone embarking on the path to salvation and inner peace. The wife of a Presbyterian minister, writer BRIGID EMILY HERMAN (1876-1923) was born in Prague and eventually settled in London. Known for her works on theology and the devotional life, she also wrote The Meaning and Value of Mysticism, The Secret Garden of the Soul, and The Finding of the Cross.

About the Author

Brigid E. Herman was born in Prague in 1875 and died in London on December 2, 1923. She was the wife of a Presbyterian minister who died quite young, leaving no children. Mrs. Herman, called simply "E.H." by her associates, gave herself to journalism and serious writing until her death at 48. She is best known for her contributions to theology and the devotional life. She preferred writing under the name "E. Herman" and wrote one book under the pen name of Hugh Sinclair.

Creative Prayer is probably Ms. Herman's finest book and endures because of its clarity, depth, simplicity and mystical insights.
