"Jane Vennard's carefully constructed book creates much-needed bridges— between the personal and political, the mystical and mundane, the pastoral and prophetic— so that pilgrims can connect to the world and beyond."
—Swanee Hunt, former United States Ambassador to Austria
"In Embracing the World: Praying for Justice and Peace, Jane Vennard gives us fresh and creative perspectives on the many questions that surround prayer. With numerous and varied examples, she shows us how to connect with others through personal prayer to help bring peace in our chaotic, afflicted world. This is a very timely book. While its focus is primarily Christian, readers who follow other spiritual traditions will not go unrewarded."
—Patricia Hopkins, coauthor, The Feminine Face of God: the Unfolding of the Sacred in Women
"A comprehensive and contemporary look at the meaning and power that will speak to all who are hungry for the voice of God in today's world. Jane Vennard reaffirms our essential connectedness to the mercy and comfort of God who forever waits to hear our voices and listen to our silences."
—Edwina Gateley, minister, speaker, poet, and author of I Hear a Seed Growing
