Experience a deeper prayer life through this fresh take on ancient
liturgy for believers today.
Designed to help individuals, families, and congregations pray together
across denominations, this book of common prayer will help you and your
community join together each day with the same songs, scriptures, and
prayers. Composed under an advisory team of liturgy experts, these three
influential and inspiring authors have created *Common Prayer--*a
tapestry of prayer that will help the church be one as God is one.
This universal prayer book allows readers to greet each day together,
remembering significant dates and Christian heroes in church history, as
well as important historic dates in the struggle for freedom and
justice. There are morning prayers for each day of the year, evening
prayers for each of the seven days of the week, a midday prayer to be
repeated throughout the year, and prayers for special occasions. In
addition, there are morning prayers for Holy Week.
Common Prayer also includes a unique songbook composed of music and
classic lyrics to more than fifty songs from various traditions,
including African spirituals, traditional hymns, Mennonite gathering
songs, and Taize chants. Tools for prayer are scattered throughout to
aid those who are unfamiliar with liturgy and to deepen the prayer life
of those who are familiar with liturgical prayer.
Ultimately, Common Prayer makes liturgy dance, taking the best of the
old and bringing new life to it with a fresh fingerprint for the
contemporary renewal of the church.
