Prayers For All Seasons

Prayers For All Seasons is a comprehensive prayer resource for public worship. In three sections, The Christian Life, Life and Faith and Ordinary Sundays, there are prayers for every situation - prayers of petition, praise, thanksgiving, confession and intercession, offertory and communion prayers, prayers of dismissal and blessing - as well as for specific occasions throughout the Church's year and the lives of its people. All are written in contemporary language for the needs and concerns of today. Nick Fawcett's gift is to write prayers which have a down-to-earth and modern feel and at the same time great depth of meaning. He offers this collection, the fruits of his own experience and continued learning, not as a way to pray but simply as a source of ideas and inspiration for leaders of public worship and those who pray with them.

Prayers for All Seasons Book 2 by Nick Fawcett is a comprehensive resource for public worship, offering over 300 prayers for every situation and occasion. Written in contemporary language for the needs and concerns of today, this substantial second volume follows the success of the first and provides a rich treasury of prayer for ministers, worship leaders, and all who participate in leading public worship. The prayers are organised in three sections. The Christian Year covers the principal days of the calendar from Advent through to All Saints' Day. Life and Faith focuses on life's passage from birth through to death, and on significant events in the life of the Church and the individual believer - from seasonal observances and church occasions to key life milestones. Ordinary Sundays offers a wide range of prayers for general use in worship, as well as the Lord's Supper in particular. Nick Fawcett's gift is to write prayers which have a down-to-earth and modern feel, yet carry great depth of meaning. This collection has grown from his own experience and continued learning, and is offered not as a way to pray but simply as a source of ideas and inspiration for all who lead worship or pray with others.
