Readers will find here a unique invitation to join with God in the dance of life, an invitation to experience God in the daily and seasonal rhythms of life. Once again, Joyce Rupp draws on her experiences to develop unique insights that will help us connect the routine of our lives with a deeper communion in God. "I think that deep within", she writes, "everyone wants to have the freedom and the joy of dancing with a wonderful partner". Rupp shows us that prayer is a dance with the Divine, a joyous and hope-filled experience, an inner dance in which God takes the lead, guiding us through the joys and sorrows of life. Organized on a monthly basis, May I Have This Dance? explores twelve major themes, each one followed by prayer suggestions which include litanies, creative writing, guided meditations, ideas for reflection and journal keeping. Just as the dry bones came dancing to life in the book of Ezekiel, readers will encounter in these pages God breathing new life into the dry bones of the spirit.
