Inwardly Digest

Anyone who is Episcopalian, especially in the US, should read this book. The BCP is one of the great treasures of the Anglican tradition - it ties us to all believers throughout the history of the Church and offers a wealth of scriptural and traditional pathways to a closer walk with Christ in the context of the Church. However, in this era of printed service bulletins, use of the Prayer Book in individuals' lives has become much less valued, and so when we approach it, its patterns can seem strange and confusing. In this book, Olsen takes the reader through the three major sections of the BCP, explaining their significance and guiding the reader in their use. I came away with a much greater understanding of how the prayer book can help structure my daily life in such a way that its focus is Christ. Highly recommended.
