Book Reviews of An African Prayer Book
Book Review: Power of Prayer Desmond Tutu
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. It embodies the beautiful Soul of a man in the midst of the chaos in South Africa as the South African people struggled to throw off the yoke of apartheid. His stories about his experiences are moving and awesome. Tutu waded into the mob of angry demonstrators and was able to disuade them from murder or worse. It was a violent time. He has an enormous loving caring heart! People such as he do not come along all that often in a lifetime. Spend time with this book!
Summary of An African Prayer Book
Prayer, our conversation with God, needs no set formulas or flowery phrases. It often needs no words at all. But for most believers, the words of others can be a wonderful aid to devotion, especially when these words come from faithful fellow pilgrims.An African Prayer Book is just such an aid, for in this collection all the spiritual riches of the vast and varied continent of Africa are bravely set forth. Here we overhear the simple prayer of the penniless Bushman, the words of some of the greatest Church fathers (Augustine and Athanasius), petitioning and jubilant voices from South Africa?s struggle for freedom, and even prayers from the Africa diasporas of North America and the Caribbean. Here are Jesus?s own encounters with Africa, which provided him refuge at the beginning of his life (from the murderous King Herod) and aid at its end (in the person of Simon of Cyrene, who helped Jesus carry his cross). From thunderous multi-invocation litanies to quiet meditations, here are prayers every heart can speak with strength and confidence.
