“I have come to regard with some suspicion those who claim that the Bible never troubles them. I can only assume this means they haven’t actually read it.”

“When we learn to read the story of Jesus and see it as the story of the love of God, doing for us what we could not do for ourselves--that insight produces, again and again, a sense of astonished gratitude which is very near the heart of authentic Christian experience.”

Dunlavy + Gray announces its release of Daily Prayer: A Modern Guide to Ancient Practices by Joy Hilley. The book is a sacred resource for developing a prayer life that is rich, vibrant, and dynamic. Drawing from ancient Hebrew texts, the words of Jesus, early Church writings and practices, and The Book of Common Prayer, Joy provides a valuable handbook for those who yearn for something more.
Part memoir, part spiritual guide, the book is packed with liturgy, resources, and prompts that help make ancient rituals relevant today. Complete with a music playlist, it is a guide for the prac- tice of praying daily. Although the book was written during the pandemic—when “prayer” was one of the most frequently searched words on the internet—it has been years in the making. With the wisdom that comes from nearly forty years of teaching the Bible and praying with women, men, and children, Joy offers readers a blueprint for building an inner sanctuary, a resting place.
Daily Prayer: A Modern Guide to Ancient Practices is available in hardcover and eBook from retailers worldwide.
