Psalms of a Laywoman

by Edwina Gateley

Book Overview

Following the familiar and powerful style of the biblical Psalms, Gateley openly reflects on her own life and ministry, and ultimately on the nature of faith itself. With a poet's eye and a believer's heart, Gateley reveals the metaphysical in the practical, the mystical in the ordinary, the divine in the human. Her psalms are a call to recognize God's presence in each of our lives.

Daily read

I love these poems. I have found them very useful when runnng prayer workshops and for personal use. A quick few moments of peace and then off again

mysticism in living

This book carries the validation of the author's journey into service and relationship with God, not of a particular faith or set of boxes held in our mind, but the one living in our fragile fearful selves. Her outline of how the book came about enlivens the words of her poetry and experience and offers therein the seed of her liberation to help us on our way as well. A rumination of the journey of the soul in modern times.
