NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From living rooms to church basements,
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 shorter edition of Christian Prayer presents a selection of
material for Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer in a format that is
easier for the lay person to use that the complete Christian Prayer
or the four-volume Liturgy of the Hours.
Using Coverdale's translation of the Psalms from the Book of Common
Prayer, the very best of Anglican chant is married to texts that
have been used to sing the transcendent glory of God for three
thousand years. The Psalms are ruthlessly honest in their portrayal
of conflicting human emotions, and many psalters have excised the
verses that speak of vengeance, hatred and anger. Acknowledging
that these emotions are also part of human experience, the Anglican
Psalter retains this material, to be included or omitted as local
preference or the occasion dictates. Includes work by renowned
composers past and present including Elgar, Parry, Stanford,
Stainer, Wesley, Malcolm Archer, David Willcocks, John Barnard, and
many more.
This book examines various rhetorical ways in which the motif of
Yahweh's Kingship functions in the Book of Ezekiel and explores
what these arguments contribute to our understanding of the
prophetic book as a whole.
