This much-praised and strikingly beautiful collection of prayers offers a satisfying resource to all who are looking for collects in a contemporary idiom. Dramatic in their imagery, richly biblical in their language and skilfully connecting the bible readings for the day, they will enrich worship by focusing hearts and minds on the scriptures read in church - and all this in a style which resonates authentically with the longings and hopes of these seeking God in today's world.
Clergy and worship leaders in many denominations now using the three-year lectionary will gladly welcome this splendid collection which includes prayers for every Sunday, holy day and major festivals of Years A, B and C.
