Deepen your connection with Christ through these inspirational and life-changing devotions and prayers on thirty-three names of Jesus.
The names of God reveal who He is and how He works in our lives today... The thirty-three names in this book invite us to get to know God the Father and spend intimate time with Him. The devotions for each name provide the context in which the name is found, a deeper understanding of what the name means, and how it applies to our lives today. The accompanying Rosaries lead us directly into meaningful connection to God through Scripture verses, collects, hymns, and ancient prayers. Whether discovering God as our Father for the first time or rekindling a long-time relationship with Him, the devotions in this book show how infinitely God loves and cares for us. Praying the Rosaries enables us to seek His protection and direction in all that we do and find fresh meaning and purpose for each day. The wonder of praying with a Rosary is it provides an avenue into the very presence of God Himself. Spending time with God transforms our ability to hear His voice, trust in His provision, and see His actions around us. As we dwell in His presence we find healing, restoration, encouragement, and help to live a life of peace in the midst of the uncertainties of this world.

When I first heard of Anglican prayer beads, I assumed they were another boring, empty, formulaic ritual to be performed. However, I soon learned that these prayer beads are simply a tool that helps me quiet my spirit and enter into God's presence. The anchoring touch of the beads keeps my mind from wandering during prayer time. Praying with the beads allows me to focus my thoughts and "be still and know that He is God" (see Psalm 46:10). This book represents a compilation of Scriptures and songs that I have used to bring myself to a quiet place where I can listen for God's voice. I encourage you to explore the possibility of finding your way into God's presence using Anglican prayer beads.
This book is a collection of fifty selected psalms edited for guided, contemplative prayer using Anglican prayer beads. Each psalm is accompanied by comment or a suggested direction for response.
