Truly fantastic. Perfect for a liturgy nut like me and I LOVE the social justice focus, which is too often lost in modern [right-wing] Christianity. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend.

I haven’t read this entire thing yet and I do certainly hope and intend to eventually have done that a year from now. I grew up (and still largely align with) Southern Baptist—about as Southern Baptist as you can get actually. You know how Paul establishes his credit as a Jew among Jews? Yeah. Me with being a Southern Baptist.
Anyway.
Being from the particular strain of Protestant evangelicalism I’m from, liturgy was something I kind of straight up never got much exposure to. And this book was more or less pitched to me as a good “Baptist’s first prayer book” and after about a week of regular use I can say with relative confidence that I think I’ll be incorporating liturgical texts into my prayer life for probably the rest of my life.
I’ve done some reading and research on other, more widely recognized prayer books and I think I’d like to graduate to The Book of Common Prayer 2019 after I’ve gotten into the rhythm and stride of this less formal liturgy. Probably after I’ve finished a year with this text.
I think of this book very much as an introduction to the wider world of Christian liturgy. And it’s certainly been helpful to me in that regard.
