A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Saying grace at mealtimes is a time-honoured tradition for many families and a newfound source of spiritual connection for others. Whether you are a master at giving the blessing or fairly new at this sacred art, GRACES will bring inspiration to your meals and special gatherings.

Seeing the need for such inspiration at her family's table, June Cotner compiled a notebook of poems, prayers and songs that she solicited from friends, poets, family members and ministers. She has turned her family's well-worn notebook into this elegantly packaged edition, which will complement your finest table setting.

Arranged by thirteen themes, this beautiful gift-book contains 133 poems, prayers, songs, invocations and salutations that span the centuries and draw from many traditions. by figures as diverse as Robert Browning, Walt Whitman, Starhawk, Chief Seattle, Helen Keller, Kahil Gibran, Saint Francis of Assisi and Albert Schweitzer. From prayers at mealtime and special holiday graces to a Gaelic Blessing or an ancient Chinese Prayer, GRACES offers fitting words for every occasion.

Previous edition by Harper One sold over a quarter of million copies in hardback. This is the first paperback edition.
