Description

Sacred Voices is a beautiful collection of stories, interviews,

prayers, practices, and poetry, illuminating women's wisdom

and history within the Islamic and Sufi traditions.

This book is a rich tapestry that weaves these elements together

with evocative art and succulent recipes to create a truly unique

record of the ancient and ongoing traditions of women on

these paths.

"In the true style of the feminine, this book is an invitation to

an experience, on many levels. You are about to embark on an

adventure in sight, smell, touch, taste, movement, dreams and

visions. It is not a book "about" a topic, although you will learn

things about the Sacred Voices of women in Islam and Sufi sm.

Those already familiar with this path are offered expansion

through hearing women's voices. Others unfamiliar with the

path of Islam and Sufism have the wonderful opportunity to

enter this mystical path through these Sacred Voices."

• Elizabeth Reed, PhD, from the Foreword

"While we have had many books recently about the future of

Islam, Sacred Voices presents what we have not heard so far: a

tapestry of voices of modern women transforming themselves

and their world while they transform their tradition. Drawing

on ancient traditions as well as creative, modern voices, Sacred

Voices presents a spirituality that is healthy and revitalizing,

not only for our human communities, but also for the planet.

Th is way could be our saving grace."

--Neil Douglas-Klotz, author of The Sufi Book of Life
