Prayers For All Seasons - Book 1

Prayers For All Seasons is a comprehensive prayer resource for public worship. In three sections, The Christian Life, Life and Faith and Ordinary Sundays, there are prayers for every situation - prayers of petition, praise, thanksgiving, confession and intercession, offertory and communion prayers, prayers of dismissal and blessing - as well as for specific occasions throughout the Church's year and the lives of its people. All are written in contemporary language for the needs and concerns of today.

Nick Fawcett's gift is to write prayers which have a down-to-earth and modern feel and at the same time great depth of meaning. He offers this collection, the fruits of his own experience and continued learning, not as a way to pray but simply as a source of ideas and inspiration for leaders of public worship and those who pray with them.
