Fresh, inclusive, creation-conscious prayers to nourish your soul--and
the soul of your worship community.
"We are called to name the extravagant wildness of God, the overflowing
abundance of creation, and the deep aching need of a broken world in new
words and images that speak to contemporary concerns.... [These
prayers] are an invitation to pray boldly."
--from the Introduction
This special prayerbook is for today's Christians who find comfort in
the rhythm of the traditional lectionary but long to connect with God in
ways that are satisfying to the modern heart and mind. Founded on
creativity, inclusivity and sharing, it encourages us to remember the
divine elements of the natural world around us as we express our hopes
and fears for others and ourselves. Inspiring words help us give thanks
for human inventions and lament the evils of poverty, violence and
oppression of all kinds while remaining mindful of God's promises of
healing for a broken world.
Following the annual procession of the seasons with prayers that are
appropriate for personal devotion as well as for use in leading worship,
these new ways to call on God will feed your soul and inspire you to
find your own fresh language for thanksgiving, praise, intercession and
petition, whether in your community or personal spiritual life.
