Book Request 2000 Years of Prayer

Ben T

I really hope Logos will add 2000 Years of Prayer compiled by Michael Counsell and published by Morehouse Publishing. It appears to be out of print except for the Kindle version. Thankfully used copies are available. There was also a paperback printing by CANTERBURY PRESS NORWICH. 

This volume has great devotional and liturgical value and Logos could give it the attention it deserves. Plus, a fully indexed Logos version would be amazing! I'm praying this happens,

I have added this as a formal request at 2000 Years of Prayer compiled by Michael Counsell | Faithlife. Amazon description of this resource:[quote]This extensive collection of prayers traces two thousand years of Christian spirituality. Containing prayers from every era of our spiritual history, from every continent and Christian tradition, this anthology provides a compelling and comprehensive portrait of the ways in which men and women have expressed their longing for God through the centuries.

Arranged chronologically, this selection progresses through every significant era of Christian experience. Chapters include prayers from the early Christian church in East and West, the Coptic Church, Celtic traditions, medieval and monastic spirituality, Italian spiritual writers, Teutonic mysticism, the Protestant Reformation, English Roman Catholics, the Puritans, Pietist, Pentecostal and Charismatic movements, and much more. A brief introduction to each chapter outlines the defining spiritual characteristics of the age and traces the development of our understanding of prayer. An excellent resource for worship as well as a treasure trove for private devotion and reflection.

Michael Counsell is a parish priest in London and is the author of two major collections of liturgical prayer published by HarperCollins and of EVERY PILGRIM'S GUIDE TO OBERAMMERGAU.
