In this collection of liturgical prayers, James S. Lowry provides an excellent resource for preaching pastors. Correlating with the Book of Common Worship of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A), the sections include Prayers Before Worship, Prayers of Confession, Pastoral Prayers, Prayers of Thanksgiving, Prayers before Meetings, Prayers for Weddings, and Prayers for Funerals. Believing that the church is currently in a state of exile, Lowry seeks to feed the church's hunger for language and poetry in their worship that is not tied to old clichis or laden in the watered-down language of current liturgical reform.
