Spoken Worship: Living Words for Personal and Public Prayer

by Gerard Kelly

This collection of forty poems is designed to provide a new and moving expression of worship. The poems are intended not to be merely read in silence, but to be spoken aloud in a way that can provide a new and refreshing experience of worship in any setting---personal devotions, group and church settings, or one-on-one.

A bit of a lone star in a limited market - contemplative material for those who would normally place themselves in the evangelical wing

This book is beautiful. It will help you appreciate the role of well spoken words in worship! So well done.

Overall, as a Christian poet, this sparked lots of ideas and the non-poetry bits were brilliant. Occasionally I loved some of the pieces but some a lot weren’t my ‘cup of tea’ and one mentioning the Titanic was frankly poor taste.

I can’t recommend it but as with most poetry I’ve read, it helped me work out what I do (and don’t) want my writing to be.

A really good book. I enjoyed reading his poems and can see myself using them in services in the future.
