Book Overview
Shalom means much more than prosperity, more than a sense of well-being, and more than quiet and calmness. It is more than the absence of stress and much more than peace. It is a peace that surpasses understanding; it is a promised gift. This book of eloquent poems, monologues, and worship resources is about the search for shalom.

*Don't miss the "Mary & Martha" play, either!*
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is a book to return to many times, a great resource for devotional material. Ann Weems' meditation about Sojourner Truth would be a beautiful focus for a Black History program. For years I have wanted to see this "poem" expanded into a picture book for adults and illustrated by one (or many?!) of the great black artists. (For young children, read Gwenyth Swain's 2005 book: # 1575058278, in paper). Laugh over the play about Mary & Martha; recognize yourself (and your church) in "The Church in Process" and "Finding Sheep" . . . then pray together "Forgiveness." The "Prayer of Confession" & "Litany" are among many other helpful resources, and are so very appropriate today. "An April Place" is another favorite poem. "Searching for Shalom" is a very satisfying journey. Reviewer mcHAIKU recommends you purchase this 1991 book while still in print.
