Everyday Prayers for God’s People

Ever felt the need of help in prayer? A bit of support, some fresh ideas, a way of learning from others? This book offers such help both to individuals and groups. It presents the experience of men and women of prayer over a period of some 2,500 years, including: - the timeless wisdom of the Psalms - the noble simplicity of the Roman liturgy - the vivid earthiness of Celtic spirituality - the transcendent vision of Orthodox prayer - the liturgical tradition of Anglicans and Protestants - Biblical canticles In addition, the book offers points for reflection for morning and evening from a wide variety of sources, ranging from the Fathers of the Church to contemporary secular writers. The four-week cycle of morning and evening prayer is designed to harmonise with the character of each day, such as the start of work on Monday, Friday as a day of penance and Sunday, the day of the Eucharist. Various Indexes help the reader to get the best out of the book. This book is a follow-up to the author’s Daily Prayers for the People of God published by SPCK in 2001.
