A Prayer Book: For the Twenty-First Century

For thousands of years men and women found meaning and a deep sense of belonging
though faith in God. But today, traditional images of God (as an all-powerful father
figure) and much standard prayer and worship language are no longer plausible for
many believers. Yet the hunger to know - and communicate with - the Sacred in some
form remains strong. In this unique prayer book John McQuiston, bestselling author
of Always We Begin Again, provides morning and evening devotions for two weeks, plus
complete Morning and Evening Prayer services, along with a Service of Commemoration
for Our Union. All use a language for and about God that reflects contemporary
understandings of God and God's actions in the universe. This pocket-sized
devotional is an excellent resource for individuals and congregations who are
seeking to worship in a language that acknowledges today's realities and
theology.
