Wildflower Journey Prayers : A Collection of Prayers and Readings with Photography

Jacinta Shailer loves the world of nature, and her journeys provide her with opportunities to use her gift for photography which was fostered during a twenty year stay in Japan. Her current fascination is with the beauty of wildflowers and landscapes. Jacinta's books - Mountains, Mists and Mystery (1995), Symphony of the Seasons (2001), and now Wildflower: Journey Prayers - reveal the wonder of God's creation in all its splendour. 'The essence of this book', says Jacinta, 'has been distilled from my great interest in Australian spirituality over a period of many years. In addition to my own writings, I have included poems and readings from books by other Australian authors. I believe the uniqueness of our land and its glorious scenery and flora reveal an insight into the spiritual implications of the Story of the Universe.' The 125 full-colour illustrations offer opportunities for joyful reflection on the wonders of creation, and enhance the prayers and reflections. 'Today's world', the author says, 'is permeated with fear and pessimism. My dream is that this little book of prayer can bring hope and joy into our lives, giving us the strength and will to live life to its fullest and to send out ripples of good news to those we meet each day.' The book is divided into seven Days, with Morning and Evening Prayers for each - filled out with meditative moments, readings, reflections and other forms of spiritual nourishment. Wildflower: Journey Prayers makes the perfect gift.
