The Act of Prayer: Praying through the Lectionary

The Act of Prayer is a comprehensive volume of contemporary prayers based around themes arising from the Common Worship Lectionary, the three year cycle of Bible readings followed by many churches. Each set of prayers comprises an opening petition plus prayers of adoration, confession and thanksgiving for each of the Sundays in the church calendar plus extra festival days. Designed to resource and inspire people leading prayer in church services, this imaginative book is particularly suitable for any who are taking first steps into this ministry, as well as those looking for original prayer material to use in small group settings.
