500 Prayers for the Christian Year

Book excerpt: The third in the series of popular 500 Prayers books, with prayers based on the Bible readings for every Sunday, plus major holidays such as Christmas, Easter, and so forth, 500 Prayers for the Christian Year provides an invaluable resource for Churches and individuals, for both corporate and personal worship. Based on the Lectionary, it includes a full set of Scripture readings for each Sunday of all three years. Every Sunday features a prayer of preparation that coincides with the psalm for that day, with prayers of praise, confession, and intercession around the other scheduled Bible readings. Designed with flexibility in mind, each prayer can be used individually or as a set for the day. Written in accessible, everyday language, and avoiding the traditional language of written prayers, 500 Prayers for the Christian Year is the perfect resource to help make corporate prayers flow naturally in the modern world.
