These are prayers for your moments of gratitude and celebration. For your seasons of loss and waiting. For your days when prayers come, not in words but in groans. When We Talk to God, from poet-theologian Sharifa Stevens, captures the arc and the ache of our lives.

A beautiful interweaving of artwork, prayers, and poems for Black women, this unique book encourages you to lift up your whole heart and loudest voice to God. And to tell Him about everything; nothing is off-limits. Sharifa's honest and powerful words express prayer and longing through personal experiences, biblical examples, and stunning imagery. When We Talk to God offers:

  • An invitation to journey through honest lamentation and heartfelt joy to find greater peace in a turbulent world
  • Poems and prayers exploring topics from job interviews to grief, from braiding hair to feeling invisible, from parenting to dancing
  • Validation and inspiration for Black women of faith, by a Black woman speaking from her life to yours
  • A relatable and authentic voice that frees you to present your own prayers and praises to the God who hears you, sees you, and loves you
  • A beautiful gift idea for Mother's Day, Grandparents' Day, International Women's Day, spiritual anniversaries, and birthdays

 

Ideal for Black women of any age and background, When We Talk to God is a balm to your spirit and soul as it urges you to go to God with all of who you are and with everything you can or cannot say.
