Opis

Gathered from sources that span the globe and cross the centuries this unique collection of prayer provides a treasury of inspiration for anyone that seeks spiritual sustenance. Including works from such well known religious figures as Rumi and Saint Theresa of Avila this spiritual companion also recognises the importance of verses created by more secular writers such as Beethoven and Michelangelo, whose words enrich the soul and elevate the mind. Beautifully presented to encourage, celebrate, console or calm this collection expresses a familiarity between all religions and beliefs that transcends doctrine and which seeks only an eloquent simplicity that gives voice to the spirit. Juliet Mabey has worked for twenty-one years as editorial director of Oneworld Publications, which she founded with her husband, Novin Doostdar. She is also the compiler of Words to Comfort, Words to Heal, God s BIG Instruction Book and God s BIG Book of Virtues."
