About
" Of the whole of the Psalter, no single poem/hym is so treasured or so often employed as is Pslam119."
So begins Phyllis Tickle in her Preface to this book of prayers, a rich contribution to the shared tradition of Christians and Jews.
This Holy Alphabet is a cycle of twenty-two original lyric poems whichh, based on Pslam119, follows the alphabetic pattern of the twenty-two consonants of the Hebrew alphabet. Abundant with imagery and music, these prayer poems are designed for personal reflection and corporate worship, Inspired by the most eloquent example in the BIble of people calling out to God, This Holy Alphabet evokes a sense of wonder and awe--in the power of languange and the holiness of God's alphabet, which still speakes to Christians and Jews today.
" I applaud Magaret B. Ingraham's adaptation of Pslam119 and hope it inspires all readers to probe the deeper meaning and mystery of the twenty- two holy letters with which God created the world."
- Rabbi Micah D. Greenstein, from the Foreword
