Complete Book of Christian Prayer
"A treasure of an anthology; more than 1,200 prayers from more than 560 sources, from the earliest centuries of the Christian church to our own day."—Reformed Worship, September 2002"This beautiful book-a veritable treasure-contains prayers from almost every century and by a wide variety of people, from Pope Gregory the Great (540-604), Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153), Catherine of Siena (1347-80), Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Pope John XXIII to retired Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong….This is a great gift than can inspire the recipient throughout life. The reader gets a feeling of praying with the Christian community through the centuries and across the continents."—The Star-Ledger (Newark, NJ)"This book is obviously the result of a great deal of work and research. It's a useful resource for home, school, and church, and would be a valuable addition to any church library."—Provident Bookfinder
