Take Our Moments and Our Days is an excellent prayer book for use in a group. The prayers are arranged for morning and evening prayer in a four week cycle focused on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ: Lord's Prayer, Beatitudes, Parables, Signs and Wonders. In addition to psalms and other scripture readings, there is opportunity for silence, song, and free prayers of thanksgiving and intercession in this format. The book has been helpful in sponsoring the life of discipleship in our community.
The benefits of this prayer book (and its companion volume) are many: Anabaptist coloration: themes of peacemaking, forgiveness, discipleship, and justice are prominent, as are the words of Christ; helpful organization: each prayer time has three movements (call to praise, discipleship, and intercession), which help structure our prayers and reflection; biblical: everything in this prayer book is rooted in scripture, from the invocation to the benediction; thematic unity: each prayer service develops a unified theme, which helps sharpen focus and meditation.Excellent prayer books for both personal and corporate use.
I had been looking for something to give me more structure for my morning times of prayer. I like that the structure of these morning and evening prayers include scripture reading and a structured time of prayer. Each day takes you through 5-6 topics that give me just enough guidance to keep me on track, yet not so full of material that I feel I can't personalize it. For those who don't like someone telling you what to pray for (though clearly there is freedom when its just you and the Spirit), you may find this monotonous after the first 4-5 days. However, given what I was looking for, this has been a great tool.
