Beskrivning

How can we use Holy Communion, whether in its contemporary or older form, as a devotional resource? Nourishing Prayer offers a step-by-step guide to communion in both its Common Worship and Book of Common Prayer forms, delving into the deeper significance of each moment in the liturgy, showing how they offer tools to aid discipleship, worship and prayer. Avoiding a focus on the mechanics and ‘how-to’ of communion, Sam Hole demonstrates how engagement in each part of the sacrament can shape the faith of both the minister and the congregation. With clarity and depth, Nourishing Prayer will inspire newcomers and seasoned ministers alike, helping them find spiritual food and insight within the familiar patterns and words of the Holy Communion service.

'I am delighted to recommend this book. I was grateful to encounter Sam Hole’s teaching on Holy Communion some years ago, and it is a pleasure to see that work deepened here. This volume reflects careful theological thought, pastoral experience, and a real love for the Church’s worship. It does more than explain the liturgy: it helps us to see how Holy Communion forms us - shaping our understanding, our prayer, and our life together as the Body of Christ - and invites us to recover the richness of the altar as a place of nourishment and encounter. Ordinands, clergy and thoughtful members of our congregations alike will find here a guide which not only informs, but encourages deeper, more attentive participation in the mystery we celebrate week by week.'
