I received an early copy of the book and was really amazed. Being in youth ministry for over 15 years, many times when I traveled with youth on trips and camps I would put together some prayers and maybe a service or two and copy them out for the trip. The authors have made a both beautiful and plain spoken version of this. I would expect many youth ministries to keep 10 copies of this in their youth room to be able to ask youth to pick them up at any time.But also, I can't help think how wonderful this would have been to have as a teenager. There were times when I couldn't even articulate what I was feeling and this book does that. For example a prayer for Loneliness from page 71.Jesus, I feel so alone.I sit at school and the world seems to pass me by.I lay on my bed and am surrounded by silence.Jesus, I feel invisible.Everyone seems busy and having so much fun.Everyone had someone to talk to and be with.Jesus, I feel so alone.Stay with me.Wrap your love around me.Be with me so I'm not so lonely.I would commend this book to all ages as a great resource and great companion.Randall CurtisMinistry Developer for Young Adults and YouthThe Episcopal Church in Arkansas
I bought this book as a gift & decided to read a bit before wrapping it. The author is Episcopalian (as am I) and the book does reference the Book of Common Prayer, so some of the prayers are a bit traditional-sounding. But, it is definitely not boring, complicated or long-winded, and seems very relevant to our youth. Covers issues ranging from self prayers to milestones (e.g. Getting drivers' license) and school/ work. Wish I had one of these when I was a teen.
If I'd had this book as a teenager, I'd have these prayers memorized by now. Excellent, excellent resource for teens and the folks who love them most. Great choice for birthdays, confirmation, teen baptism, or just to show that you remember how it was.
I was introduced to this prayer book during a youth leader's retreat for the European Convocation of Episcopal Churches. This prayer book has helped me find the words for all sorts of situations - personal adventures with my kindle by my side or in front of a group of 12 young people that were looking at me with blank faces. I've never used a prayer book before, and I really like this one. It addresses issues for the young adults in my church, but is also applicable to me as a not-as-young adult.
I think the tag on it for young adults might be misleading. I do think this book is mostly appropriate for youth, but half or so of the prayers will work well for young adults also.I think the prayers and topics covered in here are really important to youth today, and are important in being able to communicate their feelings. (Eg, suicide to fight with friend to first job)I have bought a few for my youth because it is a great resource.
I was gifted this prayer book by my priest in hopes that I could use it in our youth ministry. I fell in love with it! It's definitely a must have for youth leaders, pastors, lay ministers, and youth!
Very fitting for a young person formulating a prayer life. This was a gift to a newly confirmed Episcopalian. I have a personal copy for my own use!
This an awesome book it is great for the youth, we use it in our youth group all the kids in my youth group are wanting one of there own, Call On Me has prayers that are aimed right down the same road that kids travel in there journey in life I highly recommend this prayer book it helps youth get into the same groove as the Book Of Common Prayer.
