This compact and convenient book includes a unique worship resource compiled from the music and lyrics of more than fifty songs from traditions as diverse as African spirituals, traditional hymns, Mennonite gatherings and Taize chants. For denominations unfamiliar with liturgy, Common Prayer includes techniques for encouraging shared prayer, which also helps to deepen the prayer life of those already familiar with the liturgical prayer method.
The Common Prayer Pocket Edition brings liturgy alive by enriching the best of the old with a fresh expression of the contemporary. Churches and individuals seeking a deeper prayer life will find renewal in the variety and unity of Christian worship through the shared experience of common prayer.
