"Since the beginning of civilization, prayer has stood as a powerful pillar of hope binding together people of all backgrounds. Prayer has provided a common language in which to find solace, joy and truth. Its enduring use through the centuries is an absolute testament to the unwavering sanctity of its practice. Whether it is to fervently seek forgiveness, offer praise to a hight power or anything in between, prayer is called upon in an effort to connect with something beyond ourselves. This anthology is a choice selection, although mainly Christian in origin, representing the myriad of source of prayer, for prayers do not only find home in religious texts, but also in the hearts and minds of famed poets and inspired thinkers. From the archetypal, influential passages from the Bible and The Book Common of Prayer, to the eloquent flow of William Canton's (1845 - 1926) 'Through the Night Thy Angels Kept', the proliferation of prayer illuminates how, despite conflict and hardship, people have continually found gifts and happiness for which to offer thanks. Divided into four section, the book journeys from the highest heights of adoration and worship to the passionate plea for the courage to endure in the most trying of times. Whether it is a prayer for love, or any impassioned supplication to a divine being, this anthology offers an engaging read, a chance to reaffirm your faith and an inspiration for reflection." - excerpt from the Introduction.
