Quiet Spaces: Prayer Interludes for Women

Quiet Spaces guides busy contemporary women into short prayer interludes--despite the busyness of the day's schedule. As a businesswoman, wife, and mother, author Patricia Wilson understands the hectic nature of contemporary life and the sometimes conflicting tugs of career, family, and home.

Wilson helps women discover the quiet moments that will help connect them with God. She recognizes those days when the most quiet moment is that overlooked space while waiting for an appointment. Her prayers deal with a wide range of spiritual concerns.

Each prayer interlude has five parts:

Calming: a passage from the Psalms to calm the mind

Centering: a practice to focus on God

Praying: a prayer for a particular situation or occasion

Listening: a passage from the Gospels

Returning: a practice to anchor the prayer experience.

Wilson's prayer interludes can take as little as five minutes, but offer the renewal many women seek.
