Treasury of Devotion

Countering trends toward relevance and contemporary liturgical trappings, Martin Warner--Anglican warden of an English Marian shrine--encourages private prayer, meditation, and devotion. Without equivocation or sentimentality, "A Treasury of Devotion is designed to encourage Christians in an age less confident about devotional practices. "A Treasury of Devotion is not for liturgical use, nor does it contain the liturgical texts of the Anglican or Roman Catholic Church. Rather, it is a manual of devotions from many traditions, covering morning, mid-day, and evening prayer, compline, prayers in the night, and Sunday and midweek prayer, as well as devotions to the Trinity and the Saints. It is a manual of private devotion and prayer from the Catholic tradition of the Church of England. Intentionally traditional, this is an appealing book for contemporary use.
