Ministers nowadays give little time to preparing to lead the congregation in prayer. Most fellows wing it. . . week in and week out. Imagine doing that with supper: stick head in fridge, and begin to toss out unrelated items as they occur to you: Sriracha hot sauce, raw eggs, pickles, orange marmalade, a bottle of Hefeweizen, a slab of meatloaf, a half-eaten strawberry yogurt, and a tamale. Jumble together, and serve. This is often the preferred method employed by many preparing to lead in wors

From the cover photo of Calvin's St. Peter's, Geneva to the order for prayer on the last (370th) page, this is pure liturgical gold.
Hughes O. Old is THE leading liturgist and authority on historical worship in the English-speaking Reformed world. The essays on prayer in worship, the sample prayers, the liturgies -- it is all priceless. This is a MUST HAVE for any pastor.
The weaknesses of the book are minor.
1. No index, though the prayers are arranged well topical More...

This is a great workbook that helped me get a fuller and deeper grasp of the significance and place of the various prayers that occur throughout a worship service, as well as giving bountiful examples of each type. Another great resource.

An excellent manual for anyone who leads in public prayer or is just looking for examples of prayer. Old outlines the basic types of prayers in a worship service. He begins by giving a brief biblical and historical essay and then gives examples of between 20-30 of his own prayers that he wrote for his worship services. All of Old's works are worth purchasing for pastors or those who lead in worship. This one was no exception.
