About this book
Rewilding Prayer disrupts the idol of pretending that God is a man and upends the delusion that prayer is about wishful thinking, vending machines, or reciting words. Grounded in her experience as a biblical scholar, theologian, minister, and student of contemplation amidst the mess of living, Sally Douglas offers a collection of stunning prayers, blessings, and liturgies for use in daily life and for the gathered community. This book shows that there are faithful and expansive ways of naming the Triune God that do not rely on gender. Rewilding Prayer takes seriously that a life of prayer is not static but circles through seasons of emptiness, growth, dryness, nourishment, and difficulty--often in quick rotation. With insight and honesty, questions about what prayer is for, what prayer does and does not do, and what we can do when we cannot pray are explored. Exuding a gritty hope, Douglas demonstrates that prayer is the call to the real. This book is for the curious, the "spiritual not religious," the faithful, the disenchanted, and those who thirst for more.
