How to Use the Book of Common Prayer

Preaching & Worship

“Samuel Bray and Drew Keane have put together a guide that will lead those unused to worship with the prayer book through the basics of the use of the Book of Common Prayer and beyond. The prayer book is presented here as a map through the Christian life in an Anglican key, with sections on daily prayer, the celebration of baptism, confirmation, and Communion, the shape of the liturgical year, the memorials of saints' days, and more. This lovely and straightforward book is remarkably precise and subtle in its theological formation of the one who gets hold of it and follows its trail into the heart of the liturgical life of the church.”
