Sometimes we pass through all those emotions in the course of a single day. And yet, the next morning we are ready to resume. We bear our children, love them and struggle with them, learn to accept them as they are, and ultimately, learn to let them go.

The twenty stories collected here, all by well-known writers who are also mothers, evoke every stage of the journey, from pregnancy and birth on through the childhood years, adolescence, and adulthood.

With an ear to the particulars of how various liturgical traditions pray, and using an advisory team of liturgy experts, the authors have created a tapestry of prayer that celebrates the best of each tradition.
The book also includes a unique songbook composed of music and classic lyrics to over fifty songs from various traditions, including African spirituals, traditional hymns, Mennonite gathering songs, and Taize chants. Tools for prayer are scattered throughout to aid those who are unfamiliar with liturgy and to deepen the prayer life of those who are familiar with liturgical prayer. Ultimately, Common Prayer makes liturgy dance, taking the best of the old and bringing new life to it with a fresh fingerprint for the contemporary renewal of the church.
