Not what we learn, but of whom we learn is our source of life, living Christ. You have become for us the living Word, the spirit of the Scripture unfolding in our hearts. When bonded to you, when abiding in you, Living Vine, we are transformed and made complete. It is your expanding life in us that equips us for a life of truth, strength, and love. Unfold for me today new light and meaning from your eternal Word. -- Flora Slosson Wuellner, from The Book of Daily Prayer 1998Daily prayer is the foundation of Christianity, and it is the spiritual pathway to God's divine presence.Following on the success of the premiere edition, The Book of Daily Prayer 1998 will help readers develop the art of praying the Scripture through powerful prayers composed by a diverse group of writers from the ecumenical faith community.Even in our day-to-day busyness, more of us are finding time to pray. Whether it is used on the way to work or in the comfort of home, this fresh resource will help readers strengthen their daily discipline and renew their personal spiritual life. The morning and evening devotions are designed to be suitable for use by both individuals and groups.
This book is easy to follow and maintain in a daily prayer routine. It is also compatable with many different Christian denominations' teachings. The fact that various contributors were used in the daily text makes the book remain fresh throughout the year. I highly recommend this book and am waiting for the 1999 version to come out.
