Book Review: Light for the Journey

Christine Sine’s prayer book Light for the Journey: Morning and Evening Prayers for Living Into God’s World is a wonderfully comprehensive companion to prayer. More adaptable to group prayer than personal prayer, Sine’s book is full of rich litanies for mornings and evenings each day of the week. The litanies, readings and prayers are well developed and thematic, presenting a challenging focus as you go about your day.

The best feature of the book is Sine’s thought provoking “tasks” for the day that follow the morning and evening prayers. These questions and suggestions for further thought and action encourage an attitude of unceasing prayer, and they made me notice how even when developing a rule of prayer how fleeting our minds can be and how often we can forget the purpose of prayer to indwell our whole day. Sine has crafted a prayer book that pushes the reader into living out the prayers, and that is probably the best praise a prayer book can be given.
