    Schism between Inner and Outter Life Not Easily Bridged
  

*by S***ﻦ on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 30, 2008*

Walter Brueggemann's Prayers for a Privileged People attempts to bridge the world we live in with the retreat we have in prayer life.  In this sense, he looks as much to the newspaper as the Bible in choosing his prayer objects.  While this approach may work in a collect, I found these prayers too impersonal for personal prayer.Brueggemann's prayers are generally a page or two in lengthen and he organizes them into six sections:  1.  Opening our hearts: The Collect, 2. Well-arranged lives, 3. The world in not safe, 4. Brick production, 5. Can we risk it? and 6. Choirs of hope.  The topics he chooses are timely (e.g. Super Bowl Sunday, p. 25) and provocative (e.g. On Controlling Our Borders, p. 95).I approached this book as a devotional.  For me, devotional prayer follows a certain rhythm. My selfish heart needs to be warmed up. The ACTS format works to warm up the heart and push it into more generous realms known only to the head.  By eschewing structure and rhythm Brueggemann leaves the supplicant to feel guilty and inadequate.  While this may be a legitimate objective in a congregational prayer, where the typical worship service frames the collect with other forms of worship and prayer, the objective of personal prayer is more normally to build relationship with God and foster spiritual growth.Stephen W. Hiemstra

    Angsty prayers
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2020*

Great angsty prayers. They follow the church year...although I’m not sure I could use these in the liturgy. Some yes, others no. I enjoyed reading these and they are benefits to seeing another’s prayer language.

    A Needed Liturgy
  

*by W***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 14, 2019*

This book has been a critical addition to my devotional and teaching times, opening my imagination to a new depth of prayer characterized by reality in both grief and hope. I recommend this book to all my congregants wishing to go to new depths in prayer, particularly in the context of the United States.
