Late last year, after facilitating two workshops on writing liturgies for people living cross-culturally with overwhelmingly positive feedback, I had the idea:
Maybe I should write a book about this.
Over the last four years of writing and publishing prayers and words at Liturgies for a Life Abroad, through many of your comments and messages, I became acutely aware of how desperately the community of global sojourners needs words to process our lives between worlds. As I found the practice of liturgy-writing to be so healing and helpful on a personal level, I thought perhaps this process could be of help to you, too.
This book was birthed out of a desire to provide those living cross-culturally with a practical tool to process their experiences and emotions with Jesus as their friend and guide.
Inside you'll find my own personal journey into writing liturgies, an explanation of liturgy and lament, and a simple, six-step process for crafting your own prayers. I've also included example liturgies and some of my well-loved poems, including:
Pieces of Me
Adventure
A Liturgy for Processing Grief and Loss
A Liturgy for Discerning Next Steps
A Liturgy for Unmet Expectations
A Liturgy for Wishing to be Two Places at Once
A Liturgy for Living in Hard Places
A Liturgy for Losing Your Sense of "Home"
and more!
The paperback version includes journaling pages in the back where you can begin writing your own liturgies, while the eBook contains a link to print journaling pages at home.
What if I'm not a writer, Heather? Is this book still for me? My answer is a resounding YES!!! This book isn't written for writers, it's written for pray-ers.
I truly hope this book is a blessing to you, and a powerful tool for processing your life's journey. Order yours HERE today!
Sojourning with you,
Heather
