Overview
Overview
Knitted with love, prayer shawls show someone they are held in prayer by the knitter and often by a whole faith community as well. Prayer shawls are crafted during time spent with friends, during times of recovery from all kinds of sorrows, or during time alone listening to God. The Prayer Shawl becomes a tangible symbol of healing and time spent in prayer. Once another person receives it, his or her journey becomes looped around and tied to that of the knitter, just as yarn is looped around and around to make an intricate piece of fabric - a new design that is so much more than the single strand of yarn that started the whole thing. At least two great stories are bound together by every prayer shawl - the story of the crafter, and the story of the recipient. Though these two people are connected by one prayer shawl, they may have vastly different stories. The knitting craftsperson who spends hours making a prayer shawl and the man or woman who receives it may never meet or have anything in common. They may never cross each other's paths. Yet their stories are linked together by prayer and a piece of knitting. Each story in The Prayer Shawl Chronicles is a fictional tale of someone who finds herself in need of healing - and how that quest for healing ultimately helps someone else heal as well. Unexpected gifts appear, seemingly out of nowhere. Unlikely connections are made, sometimes across cultures and even continents, sometimes between people who might never imagine themselves connected in any way - just like the work of the Holy Spirit itself.Cynthia Coe writes and knits on her farm in Knoxville, Tennessee.
