This useful collection of prayers has grown out of David Currie's own weekly worhsip services. His style is modern but not trivial or lacking in dignity. The calls to worship and confession, especially, speak in contemporary language and use experiences of everyday life for illustration. Included are calls to worship and opening prayers, calls to confession and prayers of confession, and prayers for special days and cccasions. Pastors and lay leaders of worship will welcome this fresh, new source of practical assistance.

David M. Currie is a graduate of the University of Texas (B.A.) and Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary (D.A.). He is a former pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Seguin, Texas.
