Prayer, our conversation with God, needs no set formulas or flowery
phrases. It often needs no words at all. But for most believers,
the words of others can be a wonderful aid to devotion, especially
when these words come from faithful fellow pilgrims.
"An African Prayer Book" is just such an aid, for in this
collection all the spiritual riches of the vast and varied
continent of Africa are bravely set forth. Here we overhear the
simple prayer of the penniless Bushman, the words of some of the
greatest Church fathers (Augustine and Athanasius), petitioning and
jubilant voices from South Africa's struggle for freedom, and even
prayers from the Africa diasporas of North America and the
Caribbean. Here are Jesus's own encounters with Africa, which
provided him refuge at the beginning of his life (from the
murderous King Herod) and aid at its end (in the person of Simon of
Cyrene, who helped Jesus carry his cross). From thunderous
multi-invocation litanies to quiet meditations, here are prayers
every heart can speak with strength and confidence.
