The Upper Room Disciplines 2018

The soft melodic story of women in scripture unfolds through the prayers and reflections crafted by an artist, a writer, a woman deeply aware of the need for women to connect to God in daily conversation. Each chapter of readings is based on a woman from Jewish or Christian history and how her story intertwines with the faith journeys of women today. With this book, Jan Richardson, author of the best-selling book Sacred Journeys, considers how women have embodied and passed along the Word from generation to generation and how women of this generation draw upon that wisdom in our daily lives and connect with women who have sought God's wisdom. The six women featured are: The Beginning of All Things: The Book of Eve; A Habit of the Wildest Bounty: The Book of Brigid; A Way in the Wilderness: The Book of the Desert Mothers; Say What You See: The Book of Hildegard of Bingen; The Mysteries of Making: The Book of Harriet Powers; and In the Garden of Delights: The Book of the Bride.

In the Sanctuary of Women

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.
