Daily Prayer

This vibrant new anthology of prayers speaks directly to the issues and concerns of life and faith today. Here, King David, Augustine of Hippo, Julian of Norwich, Thomas Cranmer, and Martin Luther stand side by side with Michel Quoist, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Brother Roger of Taize, Robert Runcie, and the Queen of Tonga. The prayers rise from the depths of biblical history, and travel across centuries and around the world. Alongside the prayers, formal and informal, there are writings and reflections from Christians whose experiences of joy and suffering help us to follow the pilgrim path. Modelled directly on the original Daily Prayer edited by Eric Milner-White and G.W. Briggs in 1941, this new book is structured both for daily devotional use and as a resource for the church's year.
