It can be hard to find the words to express the love we feel toward those around us and for the things that make life worth living. In "Sacred Poems and Prayers of Love", readers will find numerous offerings that can be read and enjoyed whenever they wish to feel love's incredible power and to give thanks for it in all its manifestations.

"Sacred Poems and Prayers of Love" includes more than two hundred poems and prayers from around the world and the last five thousand years, gathered by one of the leading scholars in the United States. A recipient of a doctorate in theology and spirituality from Princeton Theological Seminary, author Mary Ford-Grabowsky has conducted research in eight languages in compiling this exciting collection of prayers and poems -- many of which are appearing in English for the first time and several of which were written specifically for this volume by some of the world's foremost contemporary religious leaders, such as Tessa Bielecki and Andrew Harvey. Drawn from a variety of religious traditions -- Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, and Christian -- and cultures -- Celtic, African, Indian, Native American, French, Irish, and English -- this book is a diverse gathering of the most beautiful declarations of love made through the ages by people around the world.

Packaged as a handsome, gift-sized hardcover book and printed in gorgeous color, "Sacred Poems and Prayers of Love" is a wonderful collection to give and receive.
