This precious life: encountering the divine with poetry and prayer - alden solovy

In This Precious Life, liturgist Alden Solovy presents prayers, poetry, and meditations inspired by encounters with God.

The first part draws from divine moments in our sacred texts, mostly the Torah but also the Prophets and the Writings.

Using a contemporary voice, Solovy imagines these holy moments as experienced by our biblical ancestors so we can reclaim them as our own.

The second part focuses on sacred moments in our daily lives, connections with the Divine that occur simply because we are human beings created in Gods image.

Equally suited to individual reflection and group prayer, the book completes a trilogy with This Grateful Heart and This Joyous Soul .
