Whether you have made prayer a habit for many years or this is your
first prayer devotional, inspiration is waiting for you in the
daily prayers written here. Ultimately, prayer is a conversation
with God. You don't need to use fancy words or recite long passages
of Scripture. Just talk to God. Open your heart. He adores you, and
he's listening to every word you say. Some days your prayers may be
filled with gratitude, some days with repentance, and some with
need. Just lay your heart and your prayers at the Father's feet and
wait for his powerful response. May God bless you as you connect
daily with God. SPECIAL FEATURES - High-grade faux leather cover

The Holy Spirit has become an object of greater attention in
Trinitarian theology, and indeed in the broader life of the Church,
since the rise of Pentecostalism at the beginning of the twentieth
century. Different understandings of the Holy Spirit have had
different impacts on worship; here, Elizabeth Welch examines four
surprising overlaps in the thought of two radically different
traditions of the church about the relationship between the Holy
Spirit and worship. These traditions are represented by John Owen,
from seventeenth-century England, and John Zizioulas, from
contemporary Greece. Welch explores in turn the common themes of
the personal and relational nature of the triune God, the immediacy
of the encounter with God through the Holy Spirit in worship, the
role of the Holy Spirit in leading people into truth, and the
transformative nature of worship that draws people into sharing
God's purpose for the world. In each, the insights of Owen and
Zizioulas shed new light on the ongoing debate in the Church today.
This imaginative and comprehensive book offers an abundance of
resources and guidelines for one of the most important and
difficult things any church can do: running a family service.
Drawing on her extensive work in the theatre and church, Sarah
Lenton shares with infectious enthusiasm her tried and tested ideas
for conducting eucharistic celebrations for all ages with
confidence and joy. At the heart of the book is a series of
ready-to-use sermons for the feasts and seasons of the Christian
year. These include dialogue, props, jokes, and ideas for engaging
every member of the congregation. In addition, it provides
practical guidance for: * Creating a welcoming, worshipful space
for all * Developing rapport with children and holding their
attention * Channelling children's natural energy into learning and
worship * Using music and props creatively * Interacting with
adults and children simultaneously * Managing noise * Making the
most of the resources you have. Complete outlines for a children's
mass, a children's liturgy for Good Friday and an illustrated
Stations of the Cross are also included.
The Westminster Confession is a foundational document for countless
churches worldwide. Churches of all sizes claim it as their
confession and hold to it with varying degrees of closeness.

seek to gain a better understanding of their faith through
exploring an integral cornerstone of Reformed Christianity. Pipa
has produced an accessible user friendly study aid which
illuminates the Westminster Confession for all Christians showing

relevant in our own lives today as when it was written. Also

Edition of rare surviving litanies from the middle ages, providing
evidence for monastic worship. The litanies of the monastic orders
in England, above all those of the Benedictines, are key witnesses
of devotion to the saints of the British Isles, whose relics and
shrines were mostly in Benedictine abbeys and cathedral priories.
However, although many of the calendars of the Benedictines have
been published, litanies are more rare, and the majority of those
within this volume are presented as text editions for the first
time. The majority of the textsare Benedictine, but the few
surviving litanies from the other monastic orders, Carthusians,
Cistercians and Cluniacs, are included, and also those of the Order
of Fontevrault. This volume, the second of a set of three, contains
the litanies from the Cluniac Priory of Pontefract to York, St
Mary's Abbey. Nigel Morgan is Honorary Emeritus Professor of the
History of Art at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of
Corpus Christi College.
