This volume of the Connections Worship Companion series offers
complete liturgies-from the call to worship to the closing charge,
with prayers and litanies for every need in between-for all
worshiping occasions between Advent and Pentecost of Year A,. Part
of the Connections commentary series, these worship resources help
congregations illuminate the connections between Scripture and
liturgical rhythms. A "Making Connections" essay precedes each
liturgical season's resources, providing context for worship within
the themes and purpose of the season.
'"Can't anyone teach me how to pray?" Millions of people today are
asking the same question. There is a sense of the necessity of
prayer - we have to pray. But how?' Prayer is central to Christian
faith; indeed, as Timothy Keller notes in his introduction, it is
the main way we experience deep change. Yet so many people struggle
with prayer - a struggle that the author himself has shared. This
wise and inspiring book is the fruit of those struggles, offering a
real and glorious vision of what it can mean to seek God in prayer.
Keller begins by giving a theological underpinning of what prayer
actually is - both conversation and encounter with a personal God -
before describing how we can learn to pray, and then deepen that
prayer. Finally he gives detailed, practical suggestions on how to
make prayer a part of the reality of daily life.
