Dwelling Places: An Inspirational Anthology of Early Women Writers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781091381001)

Dwelling Places is a collection of the writings of early Christian women writers. The selected works in this book were written by highly devoted Christian women who spent their lives dwelling in the path of the Lord. It includes selected works by early women writers such as Saint Teresa of Avila, Catherine of Siena, Perpetua, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Margery Kempe, Christine de Pisan, Lady Jane Grey, Elizabeth Tudor, and more. It is a concisely written book, with each woman having her own section which opens with a quote from Scripture and ends with a prayer by the author. Dwelling Places is a book about spiritual devotion and thus includes advice on prayer, relation to God, good neighborliness, personal spiritual growth, and resistance to temptation, just to list a few. It is an excellent read for those who seek spiritual inspiration and advice on how best to live in and with God. The fact that it is an anthology of early female writers makes it a must-read for those who are interested in the history of women's spirituality as well as their literacy.
