Grace at This Time: Praying the Daily Office
The great virtue of (McPherson's) writing is his clarity.  He has a knack for writing as one would want a good teacher to teach.  In this book he explains what the Daily Office is, how to use it, how to understand it as part of Anglican tradition, and how to interpret it theologically.  McPherson takes the Office a part, looks at the pieces, and then puts it back together.  The book is full of observations that are richly evocative and reveal a deep understanding of the way liturgy can work in our life.McPherson is also concrete.  He is as clear about how to pray as he is about the meaning of prayer.  Daily prayer is as important to Christian life as the Eucharist.  This book shows us how to use the tools we have - the Book of Common Prayer and the Bible - to make prayer in its many forms an integral part of our lives.
