The Poems and Prayers of Helen Steiner Rice Kindle Edition

by Helen Steiner Rice (Author), Patsy Clairmont (Foreword) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 193 ratings
This beautifully crafted edition offers the first, largest, and most complete collection ever of Helen Steiner Rice poems.

From her remarkable body of work, this volume includes nearly four hundred original poems--sixteen of them rare and previously uncollected--and one never-before-published prayer discovered in the Helen Steiner Rice Foundation archives. Included are favorites like "The Praying Hands," "Heart Gifts," and "Tribute to John F. Kennedy."

Organized topically into sixteen parts, this collection features the subjects Helen returned to again and again in her life--from musings on heaven and the beauty in nature to odes of love for friends and family. It's a definitive volume packed with heart and hope for generations to come.

"Prepare to find rest for your racing pulse and pleasure for your crowded mind."

From the Inside Flap

FRONT FLAP

With more poems and prayers than there are days in a year, this book will provide inspiration, encouragement, and comfort for every season and event in life. Whether you're celebrating Christmas, a wedding, or a graduation, you will find a prayer suited to your exact occasion. When you need a little encouragement during moments of disappointment or loss, when you want to say "thank you," "I'm grateful," or "I love you," or when you need a reminder of God's grace, you will find what you need in this inspiring collection.

Written with wit, sensitivity, passion, and wisdom, The Poems and Prayers of Helen Steiner Rice is a treasure that belongs in every household. It's a collection to dip into again and again to benefit from Helen's unfaltering provision of faith, hope, and love.

BACK FLAP

From the 1920s and beyond her death in 1981, Helen Steiner Rice has been an unofficial poet laureate of hope and optimism. Her books have sold more than seven million copies. There's probably not one American family today that hasn't been touched by some form of Helen's work. Even today her writings continue to inspire a new generation online, in gift books, and through note cards.

Virginia J. Ruehlmann of Cincinnati, Ohio, continues the legacy of her friend through the Helen Steiner Rice Foundation. Virginia has compiled more than fifty volumes of Helen's inspirational verse and poetry, including Awake My Soul and Sing: Poems Inspired by Favorite Hymns.

    HI FOLKS! These writings are so inspired, they will have you laughing , crying, saying "Yep, Ive been there" and so deeply informative. I truly would have liked to have met this remarkable, yet simple child of Faith. I know one thing for sure, the people I have shared her works with, have wept with joy because they could relate to what she was writing about. Now that is what I call a writer! I recommend this book for people with depression and even if you don't have depression. She touches every aspect of life giving credit where credit is due. It truly is a gift that keeps on giving.

    I’ve never purchased a used product on Amazon before but took a chance with this book since the price was reasonable. It was in good condition as advertised- and the personal message inside doesn’t take away from it.

    This is a beautiful book of poems and prayers by Helen Steiner Rice. I bought it as a gift for a friend. I already have a couple of books of poems by this author which I truly enjoy and treasure. I must say I was surprised how costly this book was, but I purchased it because this was the perfect gift for a friend in need. The price was more than $50. When the book arrived, I looked on the back of the book and the price on the book jacket was $19.99!!!! This was an outrageous mark up in pricing. This is a supply chain issue gone mad!

    I purchased this book for myself. It arrived much faster than the time stated and was wrapped with such care, I was astounded! Because the Seller took such time and care, my book arrived in perfect condition. I've wanted a collection by Helen Steiner rice for some time and was so fortunate to find this book new at a great price. Even better, I found a Seller who offers top quality merchandise that arrives quickly and packaged with care. I will definitely buy from deals-2-grab through Amazon again!

    I got this book on recommendation from a friend. The poems and prayers are good but a bit stereotyped.
    It's roughly what I expected, so will be used.
