In This Precious Life, liturgist Alden Solovy presents prayers, poetry, and meditations inspired by
encounters with God. The first part draws from divine moments in our sacred texts, mostly the
Torah but also the Prophets and the Writings. Using a contemporary voice, Solovy imagines these
holy moments as experienced by our biblical ancestors so we can reclaim them as our own. The
second part focuses on sacred moments in our daily lives, connections with the Divine that occur
simply because we are human beings created in God's image. Equally suited to individual reflection
and group prayer, the book completes a trilogy with This Grateful Heart and This Joyous Soul.
