WORDS OF COMPASSION... MESSAGES OF HOPE

    This remarkable anthology captures the inspired spiritual messages delivered around the world after the devastation and loss of September 11, 2001 - the day of the infamous attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the crash of the jet in Pennsylvania. The sermons, poetry, songs and art collected here are the personal and collective expression of peace, inspiration, hope and prayers for the fallen and their families, as well as for the emergency personnel and other men and women who responded that day with compassion, love and support.

    From Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Unitarian, and Quaker faiths, from the chapels of Texas and Virginia, the synagogues and churches of New York, to the cathedrals of England - ministers, bishops, priests, rabbis and a few ordinary Americans share their messages of hope, wisdom and comfort. The writers represent states across the US, France, Canada, Britain, Afghanistan, as well as a racial and ethnic diversity that closes the gap among cultures, faiths, races and between the suffering and those who offered comfort during this most formidable moment in history.

    "At services on the weekend that followed the attacks, clergy across the land offered such guidance and insight as they could, from scripture, from history, and simply from the compassion of their own hearts. . . Many years hence, even some who were too young to experience the trauma of September 11 should find comfort and solace in knowing what was said and felt at that time. And those of us whose lives were forever changed by those events should find enduring value in such a compilation."
