LITURGIES FOR HOPE
Audrey Elledge Elizabeth Moore
Sixty Prayers to Help You Lay Down Your Fears
LITURGIES FOR HOPE started in the midst of the Covid pandemic. Authors Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore asked each other: What can we, lovers of words, create to defy the darkness? They were inspired by the knowledge that centuries ago, Christians wrote liturgiesa type of prayer-poemresolving to offer something more beautiful and trustworthy in response to the world around them. So each morning with Bibles opened, Audrey and Elizabeth put words to the depths of grief in their community. They partnered with their home church and published 12 beautiful liturgy readings online. Encouraged by the overwhelming response, Audrey and Elizabeth have expanded beyond the initial dozen liturgies with 48 all-new liturgies. The result is the 60 modern and comforting prayers collected in LITURGIES FOR HOPE.
They address different cultural, spiritual, and everyday anxieties we are facing, and point toward the steadfast truth of God's presence as promised in Scripture. The result is highly relatable, timely, and comforting words to pray when you don't know what to say. This collection transcends the pandemic, and speaks to the evergreen needs of our time. Drawing on time-tested wisdom, these beautifully penned prayers
will help readers lay down their fears, losses, and brokenness as they engage the messier, lonelier concerns that aren't usually addressed from the pulpit: the desire to be liked, creative droughts, secret sins, and hunger for laughter.
Perfect for daily inspiration, each entry is an invitation for readers to articulate their concerns and draw on the truth of God's promises.
