A Book of Prayer for Baptists: With Resources for Ministry in the Church (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "A Book of Prayer for Baptists: With Resources for Ministry in the Church (en Inglés)"
As lifelong baptists and pastors, we have experienced the need for truly formative (and sustainable) spiritual practices - in our own lives and in the lives of our churches. This book is a "new" resource for Baptists, but it is drawn from a very ancient tradition of common prayer and scripture reading in community. We hope it can help Baptists to experience the formative power of that kind of worship - both with friends and in the home with family.A Brief Survey of the BookThis edition of A Book of Prayer for Baptists includes: -Why a Prayer Book?-How to Use This Prayer Book-An Introduction to the Church Year-Daily Prayer: Including "A Brief Order for Morning Prayer," "The Full Order for Morning Prayer," "Midday Devotion," "A Brief Order for Evening Prayer," "The Full Order for Evening Prayer," & "Prayers at the End of the Day"-Written Prayers-The Psalter--Pointed for responsive readings-The Journey of Discipleship: A book in itself of ministry aids, in rough order of life occurrence, for the various seasons in the journey toward and through a life of discipleship.
