Book Description

February 1, 1994
Because of the centrality of worship in the church's life, the continuing reform of worship is of primary importance in maintaining the integrity of the people of God. In an age dominated by individualism and secularism, it is particularly important to embrace forms of worship that are firmly roooted in the faith and foster a strong communal sense of being united with God, with the Community of faith in every time and place, and with a broken world in need of God's healing touch. In orther words, the concern for the reform of worship is above everything else, a concern for the renewal of the church.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This book of liturgical texts for American Presbyterians revises and replaces The Worshipbook (1970) as well as Book of Common Worship (1906, 1932, 1946). It is a wonderful resource, providing a wide variety of options for services on the Lord's Day with word and optional sacrament (Holy Communion). It gives seasonal and special day liturgies; forms for baptism and reaffirmation of the baptismal covenant; a psalter (127 of the biblical psalms); special prayers for various occasions; and both a Sunday/festival and a daily lectionary as well as a liturgical calendar. It uses inclusive language not only for people but also for God, making this a book other Christian bodies will want to study carefully and emulate. Essential for seminary and large academic libraries but highly recommended for all libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent worship resource, October 25, 2001
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Book of Common Worship (Hardcover)
I bought this book for a Theology class I took during college, but have used it since as a guide for daily devotions. Its prayers take on a natural rhythm throughout the year, and I feel connected to a larger tradition knowing that others use this same book to guide their own daily worship. For professional worship wonks and lay persons alike, this volume should have a prized position in any library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, February 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Book of Common Worship (Hardcover)
I am an ordained minister in the Wesleyan theological background and we do not have a resource like this. I bought this and was skeptical but after I received it and used it, it is a must have for all minister's libraries. It already has helped my daily walk with the Lord in the daily prayer. And has awesome services for many different situations.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Book of Common Worship (Hardcover)
This book was marked as used, what I received was a new book. It had never even been opened. This book is a must have for any one that leads a Presbyterian worship service. It has been of great value and help to me.
