A friend cleaned out his bookshelf the other day and gave me his copy of Different Ways to Pray, because he knows I'd love it and appreciate it. He was so right!
Ms Nye is bi-cultural (American/Palestinian) and finds the commonality in peoples throughout the world. Many of these poems are from a time she spent in South America, there is at least one for her grandmother in Palestine. They show how people the world over pray, not by rote or ritual, but by love and living.
I have, and have read these books by Nye. Unfortunately, I read them before I started this blog, so do not have reviews posted:
