Download or read book WomanPrayer WomanSong written by Miriam Therese Winter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-07-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""WomanPrayer, WomanSong is a groundbreaking contribution to the church of our day. While drawing on scripture and affirming God's self-revelation in Jesus Christ, this exciting book addresses the urgent need for ritual which incorporates women's experience. Feminine biblical images of God are recovered; feminine pronouns for God are supplied; valiant women are remembered; the church year is reinterpreted to highlight women's experience; and oppression and violence against women in scripture and society are exposed. I have been searching for alternatives to hierarchical, coercive, male images of God which are at the same time faithful to the Christian revelation. I have found a rich resource here "" --Ruth Duck, Pastor, Professor of Worship, Garrett -Evangelical Theological Seminary ""With Miriam Therese Winter's WomanPrayer, WomanSong, the feminist movement in the Christian community goes beyond the critique of patriarchal bias in religion and begins a new phase. Through a new religious encounter with the Mother-spirit of God, a new religious culture begins to develop that also renews the liberating grace and power of biblical faith. For the first time the church prays and sings the ancient story of creation and redemption through women's creative imagination."" --Rosemary Ruether, author of Women-Church ""By drawing on tradition to challenge tradition, this book models how a feminist hermeneutic can revitalize tradition. The preface, liturgies, and songs reveal a sophisticated theological mind blessed with the gift of poetic expression."" --Thomas Troeger, Professor of Preaching and Parish Ministry and Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs, Iliff School of Theology Miriam Therese Winter, a Medical Mission Sister, is professor of liturgy, worship, spirituality, and feminist studies and director of the Women's Leadership Institute at Hartford Seminary in Connecticut. She is author of award-winning books and songs, which include WomanWisdom, WomanWitness, and WomanWord, a trilogy of books on all the women of the Bible, and the recording Joy Is Like the Rain.

Download or read book Women Seeking Intimacy with God written by Helen Holmes and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-04-19 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The women of the Bible have a lot that they can say to us today. They not only impacted the nation of Israel but also the world and beyond. Their uniqueness helped to shape the Bible story. They will continue to be remembered for centuries to come. My purpose in writing a series on women of the Bible is not to retell their stories. I hope you will be inspired to search their stories for yourself. My purpose is that we will gain insight from their strengths and weaknesses that will help us to become more intimate with Jesus and thereby be molded into His image. My heartfelt desire for women is summed up on this verse: Move your heart closer and closer to God, and he will come even closer to you. But make sure you cleanse your life, you sinners, and keep your heart pure and stop doubting. (James 4:8 TPT)

Download or read book Woman s Prayers written by Sarah O. Maddox and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many Christian women are prayer warriors—great intercessors. Sometimes, however, they do not take the time to pray adequately for themselves. We have put together this devotional book as a special guide in praying for yourself as a Christian woman. Elizabeth Elliot once said: “We are called to be women. The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman. For I have accepted God’s idea of me, and my whole life is an offering back to Him of all that I am and all that He wants me to be.”1 God wants us to be a different kind of woman—not a carbon copy of the world’s idea of the beautiful woman but a unique expression of the beauty that comes from being filled with the Holy Spirit; not just a woman who prays on occasion but a prayer warrior who storms the gates of heaven for herself and her loved ones; not a woman who demands her rights but one who lays down her rights in order to submit to the One who has a perfect will and way for her life; not just a woman of good works but one who gives cups of cold water in the name of and for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ; not a woman who cocoons in her home but a hospitable woman who opens her heart and her home to all whom God brings into her life; nor a woman who considers her Christianity to be a private matter, but a woman who spreads the sweet fragrance of the knowledge of Jesus Christ in every place she goes. Yes, we are to be different from the world because Jesus Christ has made all the difference in our lives. How can you and I be the kind of women God desires for us to be? How can we keep from conforming to the world’s mold? Only as we spend much time alone in God’s presence—as we come aside each day, setting our hearts on things above, seeking God’s face and His will. Sarah and Patti have created a guide so that each Christian woman can pray: • Using Encouraging Words • Handling My Emotions • Dealing with Expectations • Opening My Heart to Others • Growing Spiritually • Seeking God’s Guidance in My Daily Life • Enriching My Relationships • Growing Through Life’s Seasons • Expanding My World • New Beginnings "

Download or read book Roles and Rituals for Hindu Women written by Julia Leslie and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The considerable interest currently being expressed in women and religion has thrown down an important challenge; the need to see women not merely as the passive victims of an oppressive ideology but also perhaps primarily as the active agents of their own positive constructs. This book therefore aims to fill a notable gap in the literature. Twelve contributors study the role of women in Hindu religion by examining textual studies of the part played by women in a variety of religion rituals, both past and present, by exploring the socio-religious context of their various communites; and by using specialist material to draw on cross-cultural conclusions.
