A moving resource for personal and public use

As a man instinctively suspicious of feminism and feminist theology, I was delightfully surprised by this collection. I can't say much for the poems, but I found the prayers masterfully written and touching. Morley has a genius command of the scriptural themes and how they connect with everyday life. Her prayers are direct, poetic and inspiring and have a wide variety of potential uses. These aren't just great inclusive language prayers, they are great prayers period.

Inclusive and beautifully written. Long overdue!

Janet Morley has responded to the growing need of women and men for inclusive collects and prayers. This book does not just replace the prayer book's use of He with She, but rather it develops a thoughtful alternative to traditional male centered prayers. THis book has something for both men and women seeking inclusive worship. I cried with joy and relief when I first used these prayers. Thank you, Janet!
