This collection of all new and original prayers from around the worldwide Anglican Communion makes connections between women's personal lives today and global concerns of women around the globe. They show the connection, for example, between a woman's prayers for her child in the West and the plight of child labour in the third world.

The editorial board comprises leading Anglican women from around the world including Jane Williams, and women from the US, Asia, South America, New Zealand and the Middle East. The presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, Kathatrine Jefferts Schori contributes a foreword. It is a rich resource for worship, reflection, personal devotion and action.

Review:

"These prayers claim the special gift it is to be a woman, the holiness God gave us in being born of woman, the apostolic vocation of another Mary, first to witness resurrection. These prayers claim assurance that in Christ all are one, neither male nor female to be elevated above the other. These prayers remind us that we most often meet God in the daily work of feeding, healing, nurturing, cleaning, listening, encouraging - blessings all." --Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church USA

"An impressive book of prayers by women committed to changing the world." --Episcopal Life
