About the book:
A Wind from God: Prayers for Recovery from Hurricane Katrina attempts to create a climate conducive to healing, by helping the reader connect the story of the storm with the deep story of the Christian faith. It includes forty meditations modeled on the ancient practice of Lectio Divina, holy reading.

Each meditation begins with a scripture passage in which water plays a central role. The scripture reading is followed by a poem stanza relating one dimension of the Katrina story, in the voice of a person in the New Orleans area. A brief prayer closes the exercise, weaving together the sacred text and the poem, creating a new and personal faith story.

The meditations are intended to serve as examples for the reader’s own journaling. A "How to Use This Book" section provides instruction in the method of Lectio Divina, and two blank journal pages are included near the end of the book.

A Wind from God is appropriate for individual or small group use, and because it includes forty entries, it would fit nicely into a Lenten prayer practice.
