Come spend some time in the sanctuary of women, an often-ignored space in Jewish and Christian history. This devotional book for women highlights six women from around the world and across the centuries, inviting us to discover what their lives tell us about God. Jan Richardson, a gifted poet, artist, and author, believes it is essential for women to listen to one another's wisdom and bring the fullness of their lives, with all the wonders and messiness, into their prayer life. In the Sanctuary of Women gathers together these women from scripture and history: Eve Brigid of Kildare The desert mothers Hildegard of Bingen Harriet Powers The Woman of the Song of Songs Each chapter becomes its own sanctuary, with one of the women serving as a companion as you contemplate the theme that her life offers. Throughout the readings Richardson weaves her own stories, poetry, prayers, and blessings. Midway through each chapter, a section called "The Secret Room" gives you a chance to pause and reflect on unexpected insights. Reading the book daily will carry you through six months, or you can dip into the readings as you wish. An invitation into reflection and prayer alone or in the company of others, In the Sanctuary of Women is a book to treasure and to share with the women and the men in your life.

Retreat-In-A-Bag Series (Book 1)
Author: Calvary Chapel of Dallas/Plano Women's
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781448690718
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Have you ever wished that there was a resource available to help with the creative end of retreat and event planning? Book 1 of the Retreat-in-a-Bag Series provides a model for a women's retreat based on the theme, "Steadfast and Immovable" from I Corinthians 15:58. Inside you will find reproducible theme-related artwork, skits and a Bible study. Also included are teaching, decorating, and remembrance ideas to enhance your themed event. Using the creative talents within your women's ministry, this resource can serve as a catalyst to create a retreat that is both meaningful and uniquely yours. One two-act skit (approx. 45 min. total) and one mini-skit (5-10 minutes) are included. This theme, "Steadfast and Immovable" uses the visual illustration of a lighthouse. A lighthouse is built on a rock, and it exists for the sole purpose of being a light, shining in the dark coastal areas, providing guidance and warnings for ships in dangerous seas. Similarly, our Christian life is built on the Rock, the solid foundation of our faith in Jesus Christ, and our purpose, like that of a lighthouse, is to be a light in a dark world.
