A User's Guide to the Book of Common Prayer: Morning Prayer I and II and Holy Baptism (User's Guide to the Book of Common Prayer)

Rating:
Summary: Be at peace with morning prayer
Review: As a newcomer to leading morning prayer I found this book invaluable in developing the understanding and confidence that I needed. During Lent I purchased multiple copies of this for my parish so that others would also feel empowered to lead morning or evening prayer. Fr. Webber concisely frames morning prayer in its historical context and provides valuable insights though the use of running commentary in a parallel page format throughout the text of the prayer service. By explaining the purpose of each component Fr. Webber removes the uncomfortable sense of not knowing why or if participation includes recitation of all of the various components that comprise morning prayer. After reading this book anyone should feel at peace in leading a morning or evening prayer service.
