"Prayer is God's gift to us, a banquet of good things to feed our inner life, as we respond to the invitation to his feast of peace, forgiveness, challenge and love." If our lives are an open book to God, prayer is the dialogue we share with him over its pages. The Book of a Thousand Prayers is a collection of wise and honest prayers to God about his concerns and ours: who he is to us and who we are to him, and how we experience life, death, relationships, the church, and the world. Ideal for private prayer and public worship, and containing practical advice on how to pray, this book offers a spiritual feast that will nourish you for the rest of your life. "A moving and inspiring medley of prayers--an invaluable aid for individuals, home groups, and those people who lead worship." Joyce Huggett X

All prayer is concerned with healing in its fullest sense, as whenever we pray, we open ourselves to receive God s transforming love. When we pray for others, we are offering ourselves as channels for that same healing love. The prayers in this exquisite collection recognize that each of us is bruised, weary, or hurt in some way, and that strong or weak, we stand alongside each other in our common need of God s forgiveness and love. Containing prayers for ourselves, for others, and for special times and needs, A Little Book of Healing Prayer is itself an inspiration and a tonic."

The popular spiritual writer Angela Ashwin provides an order of prayer for every day of the Christian year that can be used in a variety of ways depending on individual circumstances. Following the rich tapestry of themes to be found in the seasons of the Christian year, each day's pattern includes: A Thread for the Day - for the hard pressed, a brief prayer outline to sustain them through the day; A Short Order of Daily Prayer - a simple liturgy for the day; A Quiet Space - creative prayer ideas for for those who wish to go deeper and Night Time Blessing - prayer to end the day. All these outlines may be used in a day, or perhaps just one or two as other demands allow. Woven Into Prayer helps us find ways in which we can pray and to trust that all our efforts at prayer, no matter how halting, are received with infinite tenderness.
