Product Description

The Songs of Praise Book of Prayer brings together the familiar and the less familiar. Readers will find here prayers they have known by heart since childhood, alongside prayers that are completely new to them. All the prayers included are ones that have touched people's lives in different ways, and in reproducing them Andrew Barr tells human stories, the stories behind the prayers themselves and the stories of those for whom the hallowed words mean a great deal. The prayers range across a wide variety of subjects including: prayers at sea prayers during wartime prayers of remembrance prayers for healing prayers for special occasions prayers for forgiveness prayers of the saints prayers from the bible prayers of thanksgiving prayers in hard times prayers from around the world. Prayer is a regular feature and subject of Songs of Praise, and this book offers readers a rich resource for reflection and inspiration.
