Grace's window : entering the seasons of prayer

In Grace's Window, Suzanne Guthrie teaches us about the seasons of prayer by showing us her own. In these forty meditations from Advent through Pentecost, she weaves together her mystical awareness of the presence of God & the experiences of childhood & childbirth, ministry & housekeeping, summer firestorms & family life, suffering & dying. For Guthrie, ordinary life is a window of grace into the holy, where nothing is wasted because everything can teach us the art of prayer-circling hawks, church liturgies, winter rains, & supper tables. In the language of contemporary mysticism, we learn to pray because eventually we learn to see.
