Featuring some of the most beautiful and profound prayers in the English language, The Pocket Book of Prayer is a superb companion for daily intercession and meditation. Drawing from the deep well of the history of Christian faith, this pocket-sized tome offers prayers from poets, theologians, church leaders, authors, and oral traditions. Here's a small sample of text: Lord of the excluded, Open my ears to those I would prefer not to hear, Open my life to those I would prefer not to know, Open my heart to those I would prefer not to love, And so open my eyes to see Where I exclude You. -Iona Abbey Prayer Appealing to a wade range of readers within the Judeo-Christian tradition, readers will want to buy multiple copies for their friends and relatives.
I've seen and owned several books of prayer and this one is my absolute favorite. The prayers are from so many sources, both ancient and modern. There are prayers from all over the world too. And this is all very nice, but what also makes it such a great book is that the prayers are all so good. They're prayers I really feel like praying. I relate to them. They fit how I feel. This book has really touched my life and I use it every day. I found it when I was searching for something to help me renew my relationship with God and I'm so glad I bought it.
