Book Review: give us grace: an anthology of Anglican prayers Christopher L. Webber
Useful book for people interested in reading, use prayer
This is a book I've read, but only use for prayer. I can allow many of the sentences are well known by the and should be known Anglicans in this old book. And their language may be rare us moderns, at least to some extent, but are useful and meaningful.
I bought this book bound to gain access to the prayers. I had read a biography of Terry Waite, the Anglican in captivity in Iran a few years ago. He said of his captivity, that one thing which kept him was with prayers he knew from his prayer book. Although I have the Book of Common Prayer, and say the prayers thereof to Like many Episcopalians. I told myself I needed more, and although I do not think that Terry Waite, a devout man, would only say the prayers of his prayer book and none of yours, but it is a good idea to have a source of prayer as the Anthology as well as a starting point and inspiration. Those who wish to broaden their scope application is in this book a useful, a complete history of the Anglican Church.
Say you are reading the book, rather than read from cover to another, you find all sorts of interesting sentences. Some are long. There is John Donne, who says prayers before various sacraments, like marriage. He is of course, give a sermon on marriage. Here is a text to give a flavor of the language they can find. This from the 1571-1631 season:
"O Eternall and with more grace of God, who has promised to hear the prayers of your people, when they pray at home, despite being absent from it, work more effectively in us he met personally in your home in this place dedicated to that love. Let us, Lord, to see ... "
The language is to this reader most moving and beautiful. The book has many such examples of the sentence. Here is another sample, from Jeremy Taylor:
"An act of contrition ... Lord, You will find my heart full of worries and worldly desires, cheated with the love of wealth and neglact of sacred things ... "
I was introduced to the prayers of the Prayer Book by New Zealand a minister, and I was happy to find some of those prayers in this book, which Episcopalians may find a good source of history and interesting reading. There is a text before the prayer of every person who is quoted speaking to life the people, and the years they lived. Excerpts from New Book Zealand are too long for here, but this excerpt from the evening:
"The night is dark / Let our fears of the darkness of the world and our own rest life in you. "" The night is still / Let the quietness of your peace envelop us, or all dear to us, / and all those who have no peace. "
That is a modern and contemporary prayer book.
More prayers, or subjects for prayer are given. Elizabeth Goudge, a layman who lived from 1900 to 1984 is some of his prayers in this book give us grace: "For the crippled, the blind," "for the dying", " For political prisoners "
Frankly, I like to find these prayers, and I think if you are so inclined to the need for words to pray and connect with God in all sorts of topics, will find this a treasure of things so good. A book to keep, the type is large enough for easy reading and bound book binding seems strong. So you can put this book to use for long time. One reviewer calls this book, a "Party." I think it's that, too. The editor is Morehouse Publishing, an Episcopal Church House Publishing. Interestingly, the type or category for the book is "spirituality", and must say something about it, too. There is nothing wrong with being introduced to a rich tradition. The book is compiled by a well known Episcopal editor, Christopher L. Webber. Congratulations him for outstanding work. Rico in prayer, this book is a keeper for so inclined to the spiritual path and religious reading.
