Barbara Crafton rises early each morning, lights a candle, opens her Book of Common Prayer, and reads the morning office - the ancient Christian service that praises God at the beginning of a new day. When she is done, she sits at her computer and sends an email that says simply, "Let us bless the Lord," the traditional closing line of the morning prayer service. Her devoted email readers--having taken part in the ritual themselves-- reply, "Thanks be to God." Crafton communicates with thousands of subscribers to her daily email meditations. They - and others who say the Daily Offices - will treasure this collection of brief meditations. Based on the assigned biblical texts for each day of Year Two's Easter through Pentecost seasons, Crafton's writings complement perfectly the morning, noon, evening, and nighttime prayers that comprise this beautiful tradition.

The growing hunger for the Word of God is an unexpected development in our time. This book sets out to nourish those who desire something deeper and richer than is possible in the usual setting of worship. By exploring the context and background to all three readings, the author hopes to make the readings available for personal prayer and as a preparation for taking part in the Sunday liturgy. A very useful resource for all who wish to get more out the Sunday readings. Fr Kieran is very well-known for his regular emailings of resources on the readings. These are hugely popular amongst clergy and others. Now, for the first time, these readings are brought together in a series of books. This is the third volume covering Easter Week to Pentecost.
