"Prayer is God's gift to us, a banquet of good things to feed our inner life, as we respond to the invitation to his feast of peace, forgiveness, challenge and love." If our lives are an open book to God, prayer is the dialogue we share with him over its pages. The Book of a Thousand Prayers is a collection of wise and honest prayers to God about his concerns and ours: who he is to us and who we are to him, and how we experience life, death, relationships, the church, and the world. Ideal for private prayer and public worship, and containing practical advice on how to pray, this book offers a spiritual feast that will nourish you for the rest of your life. "A moving and inspiring medley of prayers--an invaluable aid for individuals, home groups, and those people who lead worship." Joyce Huggett X

The final volume in the "Handbook for Liturgical Studies" series, "Volume V: Liturgical Time and Space" contains the concluding material for an integral study of the liturgy. It opens with a preliminary notion of time and space, before discussing in detail three types of liturgical celebrations on which time and space have a direct and particular bearing. The first of these is the Liturgy of the Hours. This topic is developed in the light of the early Christian tradition until the fourth century and its subsequent forms in both East and West. The second is the Liturgical Year, traditionally called the anni circulas. The development of the Liturgical Year during the first four centuries is reviewed. This is followed by adetaled study of the Byzantine, Roman, and non-Roman Western tradition. It concludes with the theology and spirituality of the Liturgical Year wherein the mystery of Christ as a saving event is made present in time, so that the faithful may lay hold of it through the Word and the sacraments. The theology of liturgical space is drawn from the mutual interaction between the assembled community, which gives meaning to the place of assembly, and the place itself, which upholds and signifies community.

For each Psalm there is an introduction, a meditation based on a key verse or key theme and a practical suggestion for a creative response in prayer or action.

Cats and dogs respond differently to their masters's care. While the dog thinks "You must be God " the cat thinks "I must be God " When we first become believers, we still have a natural tendency to be self-centered, especially in how we pray. As a result, many Christians prayers that are more of a laundry list of "all about me" requests. Because God doesn't answer these kinds of prayer, we tend to give up on praying believing that God doesn't answer prayer. As a result, we end up checking in from time to time making sure he knows we're there and reminding him of our needs--hoping he'll do something about them. Cat and Dog Prayer will help move you from self-centered prayers to God-focused prayers. You'll learn how to pray, as the authors show: How to pray prayers that God wants to answer How you've been given a Blank Check by God The six reasons why God says Wait The four reasons why God says No How to pray Cause Me Prayers releasing the Holy Spirit completely in your life, and How you need to be careful about what you pray about--because it can be the very thing that takes you away from God himself This book will change the way you pray. It is a natural outflow ofCat and Dog Theology also written by Bob and Gerald.

It may be used alongside Common Worship and The Book of Common Prayer, and includes an appendix of prayers for a wide range of needs and occasions. Material from the Western Rite and the Book of Common Prayer is printed side-by-side, making this a useful resource for priests and parishioners who prefer ancient rites which pre-date the splits and divisions brought about by the Reformation.

You feel as if the world is closing in on you. You have trouble in your relationships. You have a nagging something in your mind, but you can't quite name it and it won't go away. You have trouble with anger. You wonder what your purpose in life is. You have faith and hope that come from your religious journey, but they seem to be waning. Some days any or all of these gang up on you. Who can help you? Where do you turn? Is there someone who can help you to make sense of it all? These questions and more are the very content of honest prayer. Your most trusted friend is the one who made you. Our creator is available to sustain and guide us on the whole journey of life. In the ups, downs, and in betweens, Spirit is present to uphold. Prayer is the connection point of our present circumstance to the One who provides hope and meaning. In Morning Glory and Evening Grace, the prayers are an expression of daily life. They come from the heart and soul and are offered to a God who desires to know and help us. Use them to inspire your own expression of authentic faith.

Many are professors and graduates of the Pontifical Liturgical Institute in Rome.

The result is a cohesive view of the meaning, purpose, and celebration of Christian worship.

We must position ourselves to receive. In any circumstance where a giver is giving, the recipient must position themselves to receive. Spiritually you cannot receive a gift from God unless you position yourself to receive that gift. In fact, if you are not in position, God's blessing will crush you, it will cause the opposite effect than was intended. Cameron and Caden Sturtz were dying from a rare liver disease until their parents decided to position themselves, to let go and let God take control even if the boys were to lose their lives. This miracle blessing was crushing their family until they were willing to position themselves, which was the hardest decision ever. The Lord asks what you are willing to sacrifice for the harvest He has for you without knowing what it looks like. Remember what He sacrificed for you. In Genesis 32:24-32 there is a story about Jacob that proves the point about positioning. - Learn how to position yourself to receive the Father's blessings. - Discover how to let go and let God control every facet of your life. - Be blessed by this testimony of God's miraculous healing power. - Those who persevere and "overcome" will receive the blessings of the Father!

IVP Readers' Choice Award The Book of Common Prayer (1662) is one of the most beloved liturgical texts in the Christian church, and remains a definitive expression of Anglican identity today. It is still widely used around the world, in public worship and private devotion, and is revered for both its linguistic and theological virtues. But the classic text of the 1662 prayer book presents several difficulties for contemporary users, especially those outside the Church of England. The 1662 Book of Common Prayer: International Edition gently updates the text for contemporary use. State prayers of England have been replaced with prayers that can be used regardless of nation or polity. Obscure words and phrases have been modestly revised--but always with a view towards preserving the prayer book's own cadence. Finally, a selection of treasured prayers from later Anglican tradition has been appended. The 1662 prayer book remains a vital resource today, both in the Anglican Communion and for Christians everywhere. Here it is presented for continued use for today's Christians throughout the world.
