In 1549 Thomas Cranmer published the first "Prayer Book" in
English. Based on a medieval form of worship, its language is both
sublime and majestic. "Later Prayer Books" produced by the Anglican
Communion are derived from it - and in the eyes of many are
inferior. All Christian denominations in England and America owe an
incalculable debt to Cranmer's pioneering work. This new edition
presents Cranmer's services in a form which is practical,
accessible and easy to follow. This is the first edition designed
for use in worship since the original publication over 450 years
ago. As in the original, the instructions - the "rubrics" - are
printed in red. The present publishers hope that churches and
informal Christian groups may use if for occasional - or even
regular - acts of worship.
Daily Faith Devotional and Journal Program CONGRADULATIONS You have
made the best decision of your life to draw closer to God this year
as you spend time in His Word daily. A personal relationship is
developed by spending one-on-one time with the person that you
desire to be acquainted with. I suggest that you choose a good
reference Bible for your daily reading written in one of the
following translations - King James Version New King James Version
Amplified Version Message Bible New Living Translation As you build
your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through prayer and
study don't forget to write down the requests that you make known
to Him. God loves us and He wants to make His power known to each
one of us in our personal lives. In the back of this journal I have
included several sheets for you to reflect on the process of
reading the Word and the manifestations of the covenant of God that
occur from day to day. Please take the extra time to make note of
the things that God reveals to you in your private time with Him.
God bless you as you continue to grow and mature in the faith of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May the peace of God be with you
always In His Righteousness, Jerome Spriggs
You live a busy life, juggling work, family, chores, and more. Into

pray about. But maybe you're not sure how. Beautifully designed and
perfect for gift-giving, 100 Days of Prayer for Women is a
collection of go-to prayers for when you want to say something to

gratitude to the One who made you, sustains you, and loves you

Published to coincide with the new weekday lectionary of the Church
of England, this prayer companion is aimed at all whose pattern of
daily prayer includes the reading of the Psalms. The guide teaches
us to pray with the Psalms as people of faith have done for
thousands of years. Readers learn to understand the Psalms of
praise, lament, blessing and cursing today and to use them as a
basis for daily thanks-giving and intercession. 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.
The books in this series help preachers and students of preaching
understand biblical texts in light of current scholarship. Each
volume gives exegetical help, suggestions on how to preach
important biblical texts, and sample sermons.
This comprehensive resource is the first lectionary-based
collection of prayers for the communion table. Included are
communion and post-communion prayers for each Sunday in the
lectionary cycle and selected special days. The prayers can be used
both by congregations that offer separate prayers for bread and cup
and by those that use a single prayer. An index is included for
congregations that do not use the lectionary.
A text for students, with translation, introduction and
annotations.

Years ago, devout Christian Gwendolyn Wilson Diggs thought she'd
been forgotten by God. While waiting in line for a life purpose,
she felt skipped over. Others members of her musically inclined
family sang or played instruments, yet she did nothing. Then,
during a particularly dark period, she sat down and screamed, "God,
what do you want me to do?" His response: "Spread my Word and
proclaim the gospel of Christ."Diggs's "A Place of My Own to Give
God Glory" offers forty devotions, each illuminated by scripture
and inspired by God. By putting God first and seeking His face,
Diggs discovered her true purpose; since then, she has been filled
with the joy and peace of Christ, and she seeks to spread His Word
to the whole world. She artfully combines life experiences with
scripture, turning each devotion into applicable lessons for your
Christian walk, with included journal sections for personal
reflection.Proverbs tells us, "In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and
He shall direct thy paths." God is waiting for you to walk at His
side. These daily devotions will encourage you to view your
difficulties from a Christian perspective. All of your questioning
will reveal your purpose. God does hear you, and He wants you to
hear His voice. All it takes is daily devotion to Him, and never
forget the most important thing in life: Give God Glory
