Women of every age have found their faith a source of hope and strength in adversity, of inspiration in the ordinary and everyday. This collection of meditations draws on a variety of women's spiritual experiences - from medieval mystics, such as Julian of Norwich to 20th-century authors, such as Dorothy Sayers and Caryll Houselander. All of them bear witness to their developing relationship with God and the world around them, providing insight and encouragement for women at every stage of their lives, as well as wisdom for dealing with the trials and opportunities that each day brings. As with its companion volume, Women of Prayer, this book includes short biographies of the writers represented, along with an index of the subjects, needs and emotions they write about.
