As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets : Liturgical Prayer Services for Ordinary and Extraordinary Events in the Lives of Young People

In stark contrast to the common belief that youth ministers require nothing less than a light show, smoke machine, and sweaty rock bands to reach teenagers' souls, more and more youth have actually been moving toward depth and quiet-and away from fluff and noise. Creeds, candles, silence, and ancient spiritual practices are all gaining understanding and popularity among young people, who are realizing that there are treasures in tradition. As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets is a tool for unearthing, dusting off, and tapping into these treasures.
