Summary:

Our common prayer offers a refreshing alternative to our postmodern world by helping us reconnect to the historic prayers of the Christian faith. The historic common prayer tradition has enriched the faith of millions of Christians around the world for hundreds of years and still has the power to offer a vibrant, healthy, life-giving faith for our generation and generations to come. Our common prayer follows a simple outline and rhythm from the Book of common prayer and is edited for contemporary use. Our common prayer can be used in a variety of ways: for individual private devotion, for small groups, for youth ministry, or even for church gatherings.
