Abound with Blessings : A Modern Book of Hours

With the verses of the Kyrie Eleison as a guide, this four-week cycle of ecumenical poetry and prayer responds to modern Christianity's deep longing for spiritual meaning and growth.

Poems are used here as modern parables, and together with companion prayers, lead readers back to Scripture where God reveals eternal words of Praise, Hope, Grace, and Life.

When readers open themselves to the ecstasy of a poem, they are able to transcend themselves and thus open up to Mystery and to the possibility of healing. - praises the mercy and wonder of god - seeks deliverance from pain, sorrow, and anxiety - celebrates the promise of God fulfilled in Christ - embraces God as the centre of our life - includes prayers and poems for morning and evening, with scripture references for each - shows how poetry is one of God's gifts for healing
