The Book Of Common Prayer specially arranged for personal devotions. Written in 1662, the poetic and profound Book of Common Prayer is still much admired and used today. Based on the Bible, the Prayer Book is considered by many to be unparalleled in the beauty of its language and the depth of its understanding of God. Offering a powerful, classic approach to personal devotions, THE DAILY BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER draws directly on material from the Prayer Book in its original form, providing a page of devotional readings for every day of the year. Interspersed throughout this lovely volume are readings linked to Easter, Christmas, and other parts of the Christian year, selections devoted to especially to the psalms, a selection of rare and inspiring prayers, and thematic readings such as "In Deep Trouble," "Contrition," "The Messiah in the Psalms," and "Luke"s Account of Christ"s Passion." At the start or end of the day, as a travel or bedside companion, THE DAILY BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER is an ideal spiritual guide through the Christian year.
