From the Foreword by Sally Magnusson: There are more than 2,000
hymns here from over 400 authors, imaginatively arranged and
impeccably indexed. It is a marvellous collection ...It's a
collection to dive into, in confidence that wherever you plunge you
will always draw out some pearl or another. Whether rediscovering
hymns we have known since childhood or happening upon new ones for
the first time, we will find much here to treasure.
This book of 2146 Bible-based hymns is notable not only for the
large number of hymns it contains but also for their arrangement in
Bible verse order. This has led to the name: The Bible Hymn-Book
and it is anticipated that it will prove especially helpful for
private Bible study and devotion.

Sarah Bessey grew up amongst prayer circles filled with women from
diverse backgrounds who prayed in diverse ways. In A Rhythm of
Prayer she captures the spirit of those prayer circles, bringing
together a range of faith leaders, including Barbara Brown Taylor,
Amena Brown, Nadia Bolz-Weber and many more, to offer daily
inspiration for connecting with God. With thirty one original
prayers for every mood - tiredness, anger and sorrow as well as
hope, love and reconciliation - and journaling pages to add your
own prayers to the circle, this is not just a devotional book, but
a celebration of unique voices. It is also a warm, inviting
invitation to renew and revitalise your prayer life, ideal for
anyone who is looking for fresh ideas for prayer or for those just
starting to explore prayer for the first time. Filled with wisdom,
compassion and words of poetic beauty, A Rhythm of Prayer is a
Christian prayer book that provides spiritual nourishment and
guidance. It will leave you feeling connected to others who also
walk with God and less alone in difficult, uncertain times.
This daily devotional just cuts straight to the chase, we need the
daily Bread in order to live large in this world. Start the day
fortified and ready to conquer every day as you gain daily
encouragement from Marialuz. As women, we're used to digging and
drinking from our own cisterns; we are tempted to taste life on our
own before we try His way. it is only when we realise how fragile
we are, and how insurmountable and lonely the walk without Christ
is, that we start to express an interest in trying God's way. God
has revealed to me the secret of a joyous life; the secret is in
leaving our own ways behind and embracing His way. In this first
volume we have looked at the lessons God taught me, like learning
to love each other despite our differences.

This is a textbook with an international slant, blending
established and young experts, and covering a much wider, and less
historical, focus than The Study of Liturgy. This reflects the way
the subject has changed, from one based upon a historical narrative
to one drawing additionally on the social sciences. This new Guide
draws upon the valuable approach contained in the old book - short
accessible chapters by leading liturgical scholars, which provide
sufficient introduction to a topic and advice on further research.
Western observers never fail to be awestruck at the celebration of
the liturgy in an Orthodox church. Hugh Wybrew's authoritative yet

would have felt like to be among the worshippers. 'We have long
needed such an introduction. Clear yet detailed, sympathetic yet
not uncritical, The Orthodox Liturgy will be of great value to
Christian, whether western or eastern.' Metropolitan Kallistos of
Diokleia

Best-selling author William G. Storey compiles some of the best traditional devotions to assist in daily prayer throughout the liturgical year. Strongly Biblical in tone and content, A Prayer Book of Catholic Devotions was written to caryy out a Vatican mandate which promotes the revival of traditional Catholic devotions. In the first devotional prayer book based on the liturgical year, Storey uses psalms, canticles, Scripture readings, and traditional prayers to celebrate the holy seasons of the year, from Advent and Christmas to Lent and Easter. Concentrating specifically on Jesus and Mary, Storey presents devotions from throughout the ages, both official and unofficial, that have found a special place in the lives of Catholics.

decades. The Grail's translation has been revised to keep this
favorite version of the Psalms up-to-date and relevant. Retaining
both the original explanatory notes to each psalm, and the pointing
and musical notation appendix for singing of the psalms, this
important translation is again available in it's original form
using inclusive language. This inclusive language translation
avoids the generic use of such words as 'he', 'man', and mankind'
and their bias to the masculine gender. Instead this edition
carefully rephrases or pluralises passages, making the text
accessible to all.

uni-dimensional lives. To recover those depths is to learn that
