Fabric of Faith: A Guide to the Prayer Quilt Ministry
by Kimberly Winston
$24.00 Hardcover

For the Prayers and Squares Ministry, begun in California in 1992, the making of a quilt represents more than fabric and artistry – it is a visible act of prayer. Today this ministry is represented in some 200 chapters throughout the United States, Australia, and Canada, spanning dozens of denominations and faiths. Fabric of Faith chronicles the amazing ways Prayers and Squares has touched lives and hearts around the world. It offers directions and patterns for making quilts and starting a parish or community chapter. And it provides a selection of prayers, written from many faith traditions, to offer with each complete quilt.

The Knitting Way: A Guide to Spiritual Self-Discovery
by Linda Skolnik and Janice MacDaniels
$16.99 Paperback

What can you learn about yourself through your knitting? How can this simple activity help you make your way down a spiritual path? Delve into these questions and more as you follow the knitting journeys of the authors and other knitters to discover how they have used knitting to explore and strengthen their spiritual selves, and how you can do the same.

"This book is about seeing and listening. It's about becoming aware that through knitting you can hear and give attention to what's in your heart and soul -- that knitting can be a place of rest and thought and a place for the Divine. It's about connection -- to yourself, to the world, to others and to the Holy." -- from the Preface

Women's Uncommon Prayers
by Elizabeth Rankin Geitz
$25.00 Paperback

Written by clergy and lay women from all around the country, this compilation of prayers and poems is the collective wisdom of contemporary women who base their search for an understanding of themselves, their relationships with family and friends, and their place in the world against the backdrop of a vital faith. Women’s Uncommon Prayers covers the full spectrum of emotions from desperate pleas for compassion in times of despair to quiet gratitude for the simple blessings of everyday living, to raucous praise during moments of celebration; they touch on categories such as identity, daily life, stages of life, spirituality, and ministry; and they include comprehensive sections of seasonal and corporate prayers.
