"He who forgives ends the quarrel." -African Proverb
I was instantly intrigued with this beautiful book. The format is also very appealing and easy to read, with two columns of quotes on each page. The quotes are organized according to interesting and relevant topics. The detailed biographical Index not only gives the authors name and information, you can also find all the page numbers and topics for their quotes under their name.
"Like a child in its cradle
I would that very gentle arms
Might rock my grieving spirit
And be as it were a kindly shelter
For my heart-a traveler lost
On a remote deserted road."
Nguyen Vy
The best way to enjoy this book is to have a pen in hand and to mark each quote you enjoyed, because like a good cup of tea, you are going to want to enjoy reading these quotes again. I drew dreamy purple clouds around all my favorite quotes, passages and poems. This was my favorite quote:
"Literature must be an analysis of experience and a synthesis of the findings into a unity." -Rebecca West (1892-1983)
Some of the topics you might enjoy: Acceptance, Adventure, Beauty, Belief, Books and Reading, Charity, Compassion, Creativity, Dreams, Emotions, Family, Good and Evil, Happiness, Ideals, Joy, Last Words, Love, Meditation, Music, Oppression, Peace, Poetry, Reason, Sacrifice, Talent, Trust, Waiting, Will and Youth.
Reading "The Whole World Book of Quotations" will give you a unique perspective and actually I found reading this book had a calming effect on me.

My only disappointment is in the title of the book. The contents are very common indeed to women and are raised in common voice to God. The title, Women's Uncommon Prayers, trivializes and marginalizes the work. The Book of Common Prayer already marginalizes women because of its lack of inclusive language. This title, Women's Uncommon Prayers, perpetuates that by implication that women's work of worship and prayer is uncommon and at the margins of serious prayer and certainly of common / corporate (men and women) worship.
