Matthew Henry's classic, describing how Christians can rightly conduct prayers for public occasions, has for centuries been a valuable source for believers.
Writing in the 1710s, the author reflected on his lifetime as a man of God who had conducted many official ceremonies and events in his church. The concerns of his congregation, many of whom experienced the heights of joy and depths of despair that life offers, led Matthew Henry to devise a methodology for praying to the Lord rich in example.
This method is intended to both respect and properly consult the divine, and also give comfort to believers who are in a state of distress or anxiety. Requests to God to fulfil a desire, to forgive a sin, as well as communications of life. Simple prayers of praise, wherein the Lord is given thanks for good fortune or daily small blessings, are also detailed.
Most of Henry's recommendations reference Biblical scripture as a source: with the Holy Bible as his backing, the advices and methods of the author are beyond question. The language he uses is reminiscent of the King James Version of the text, which was the dominant Bible in the 17th and 18th centuries. Despite the passage of centuries, the authority and authenticity of Henry's prayer method is undiminished.

This popular collection of 280 musical pieces from both the African American and gospel traditions has been compiled under the supervision of the Office of Black Ministries of the Episcopal Church. It includes service music and several psalm settings in addition to the Negro spirituals, gospel songs, and hymns.
Hymns are more than beautiful musical compositions; they provide us with a heightened language for praising and speaking to God, all while teaching us theology that reflects both the depth and complexity of Our Lord.
Sacred hymns in our day have given way to fifth-rate poetry set to fourth-rate music, as C.S. Lewis once remarked. At times, the music used in worship can make us feel as though the culture is usurping the Church rather than being transfigured by it. There is a clear and present need to resurrect those distinctively different songs with a distinctively different vocabulary for people who want to live distinctive lives as followers of Christ.
In these pages, Fr. George William Rutler introduces and reflects upon dozens of the greatest hymns written from the earliest years of the Church through the Twentieth Century. The text and composition of each hymn is included, as well as inspiring accounts of their authors and composers, fascinating stories and historical events connected with them, and notes on the significant contributions each one made to theology and music.
Fr. Rutler has recovered here a rich musical legacy that will help us to give glory to our God who is Lord of all.

The Christian Book of Mystical Verse, first published in 1963, is a collection of poems, hymns, and prayers compiled by Christian pastor and writer A.W. Tozer. Intended to provide an aid to the devotee, it is a selection of over 100 pieces of theologically sound verse to support the worshipping soul.
A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) was a self-educated pastor. He first heard the call to Christianity as a teen, when he heard a street preacher say, If you don't know how to be saved ... just call on God, saying 'Lord be merciful to me a sinner.' Tozer heeded the call, and began a life dedicated to Christ.
Calling on God became a cornerstone of his faith. He had an intensely personal relationship with God, and was seen to pray in his office for hours at a time, sometimes on his couch and sometimes prostrate on the floor. As a pastor with the Christian and Missionary Alliance, he spent his career preaching Biblical doctrine, advocating that his congregants turn away from worldliness and toward the fundamentals of the faith.
It may seem odd to find a fundamentalist like Tozer use the word mystical in the title of his collection. But in his introduction, he differentiates the Christian mystic from those with a strong psychic bent that predisposes them toward the occult ... ready to accept whatever in the realm of religion is bizarre and prodigious.
Rather, the mystic of Tozer's collection had experienced ... that personal spiritual experience common to the saints of Bible times and well known to multitudes of persons in the post-Biblical era. I refer to the evangelical mystic who has been brought by the gospel into intimate fellowship with the Godhead. Those he identified as mystics include clergy and pastors, hymn writers, poets, reformers, and others. They span different denominations of Christianity, from French Roman Catholics to German Calvinists to American Baptists.
To Tozer, the mystical is God-oriented. The poems in his collection ...begin with God, embrace the worshipping soul and return to God again. While these verses are not from the scriptures, one can trust that they are fully supported by the Biblical text. A fundamentalist like Tozer would not include any hymn or prayer that was not theologically sound and supported by the source material.
There are 111 verses and hymns included in this collection, divided into 15 logical sections:
As Tozer explains, This is a book for the worshiper rather than for the student...Everything here is for use in private devotion. I have had in mind not a congregation but the lone individual. The collection can be used as a devotional, with the reader meditating on a single verse each day. The organization by topic can also let you search for verses that will support your current Bible study. Or, simply flip to a page at random, and see which verse has been chosen for you on that day.
The Christian Book of Mystical Verse was the last of Tozer's books to be published during his lifetime. Since then, many more compilations of his essays, sermons, and articles have been published, ensuring that this brilliant Christian is still being read and enjoyed by modern audiences.
The Catholic Book of Hymns: A Timeless Solution for Parishes
Clarifying the ProblemHave you experienced the frustration of replacing your parish pew books multiple times due to changes in the translations of the Mass and Scriptures? While these translations have changed, one thing has remained constant: traditional, beloved hymns.
Prior to Vatican II, hymnals and missals were never ever combined into a single book. Returning to this tradition will bring your parish both financial savings and liturgical benefits.
With another new Scripture translation on the horizon, all parishes will soon be forced to discard and replace their books yet again. Now is the time to consider investing in a permanent hymnal.
A Catholic hymnal is a collection of hymns chosen to support worship and devotion. A Catholic Book of Hymns includes beloved English hymns, while Gregorian chants are added in A Catholic Book of Hymns & Chants to recreate the Church's universal musical heritage. Two versions match your parish's needs: One with hymns, the other with the same hymns and with added Latin Gregorian chants.

Is it considered by reviewers?A Catholic Book of Hymns is rated one among the best for parishes seeking to restore and celebrate the Catholic Church's musical heritage. See the reviews here on AMAZON.
The most important book in the world is the Bible. The second most important book in the world is the hymnbook, your hymnbook. As we read and sing the verses of our hymns, we are to be reminded that the message of the song is the most important part. In Scripture, we are told to sing with the spirit and with understanding. I have found that to know the story behind the song really helps me to sing better and with a greater understanding and appreciation. The stories shared in this book will hopefully encourage you to sing with greater awareness and appreciation.
