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.</P><P>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.</P>
