Prayers for the Lord's Day

In this collection of liturgical prayers, James S. Lowry provides an excellent resource for preaching pastors. Correlating with theBook of Common Worshipof the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), this book includes prayers of confession, pastoral prayers, prayers of thanksgiving, prayers before meetings, prayers for weddings, and prayers for funerals. Believing that the church is currently in a state of exile, Lowry seeks to feed the church's hunger for language and poetry in their worship that is not tied to old cliches or laden in the watered-down language of current liturgical reform.

James S. Lowry is an interim pastor in Mobile, Alabama, and a board member of Columbia Theological Seminary
