Stookey seeks to relieve the anxiety of inexperienced leaders of
public prayer and the discomfort of those with and for whom they
pray in this practical guide to the art of praying in public.
The book has three parts. First, Stookey offers reflections on
the nature of prayer, utilizing the image of a flow of energy.
Second, he discusses the forms, mechanics, and vocabularies of
prayer. His analysis brims with insight and practical application.
Third, and most importantly, he provides concrete exercises in
editing prayers. The reader is challenged to mark prayer texts and
then to compare her or his own work with the author's as Stookey
points out the particular issues that the exercises highlights.
The book is clearly organized, economically written, and easy to
use. Those who read carefully and complete the exercises will gain
significant experience in crafting prayers to which the whole
congregation can respond with an enthusiastic "Amen."
