to be understood, rather than condemned. It argues that our darker
traits must be coaxed into the light in order to manage them and
work towards healing and renewal. An intriguing choice for both
personal and group reflection.
Offers 'starter' ideas to help those who lead intercessions in public worship and small groups,
and aims to open the reader's imagination to enrich their own style of praying.
Everyday language, images and experiences are used in each of the three main sections. The first, Intercessions in mainstream worship, offers prayers (1) for each of the 12 months; (2) for major festivals and their seasons; (3) for special days, like Mothering Sunday and Remembrance); (4) on themes such as light, storms and fear. The second section provides intercessions for use in informal worship and small groups, and the third focuses on personal intercessions (including a section for extroverts).

Growing into the daily use of these meditative prayers makes us
conscious of how we stand in great world rhythms. We learn to
follow the alternation of waking and sleeping, the ordering of the
seven days of the week, and the course of the seasons, as gifts of
heavenly powers gradually become known to us. This is a small,
elegant guide to aid meditation.
'God doesn't demand hectic church programs and frenetic schedules:
he only wants his people to know him more intimately,' says D. A.
Carson. 'If we are to make any headway in reforming our personal
and corporate praying, then we shall have to begin by listening
afresh to Scripture and seeking God's help in understanding how to
apply Scripture to our lives, our homes and our churches.' In this
widely appreciated exposition, Carson works through several of the
apostle Paul's prayers in such a way that we hear God speak to us
today, and find strength and direction to improve our praying, both
for God's glory and for our good.
