This collection of prayers by noted Hebrew Bible scholar Walter
Brueggemann can be used in both public worship and private
devotion. These prayers run the gamut from particular days in the
church year to special moments in the lives of worshiping
communities to events playing out on the world stage. In all cases,
the prayers spur us toward acts of justice and peacemaking and call
on God to heal and restore God's hurting and broken people.
This collection of special prayers is a wonderful companion for
parents and caregivers and will help guide children on their
journey to adulthood. It includes verses for every occasion?for
parents to recite as the incarnating soul prepares for birth, for
the baby after birth, and for children of all ages. Also included
are prayers for morning and evening and graces for mealtimes. A
lecture by Rudolf Steiner provides context for the prayers,
offering insight into the greater cosmic relationships in which
individuals are immersed before birth, during life, and after
death.
