Summary:

"Riches of thy Grace is explores the vista of living in the Book of Common Prayer. It's not a guide to its history, but the story of the author's experiences of how its age-old prayers and liturgies have drawn her (and others) closer to God, and He to them-in the workday, the mundane, in weekly worship. It's a book about how the Prayer Book can root us deep in Christ"-- Provided by publisher.

"An Invitation into God's GraceAs we race to work in the morning, have coffee with a friend, or fall into bed exhausted, we want to feel God's presence, to sink into his grace. Yet too often he feels aloof, absent. Our prayers feel trivial. But as Julie Lane-Gay discovered, the Book of Common Prayer is designed for just this purpose: to root Christians in the riches of God's grace.Lane-Gay has written this book to share the treasures she has found in the Book of Common Prayer. It's not a history of the prayer book nor a guide (though it will certainly help readers get their bearings). Instead, using stories from her own life, Lane-Gay shows what it means to live in the prayer book: to allow its prayers and patterns to shape an ordinary Christian life. Discover how the Book of Common Prayer can anchor us-our prayers, our daily lives, our hearts-in Christ"-- Provided by publisher.
