A Beginner's Book of Prayer: An Introduction to Traditional Catholic Prayers - Imitation Leather

by William G. Storey (Author)

In this, his latest work, esteemed prayer-book editor and author William G. Storey provides nearly 200 prayers of the Church for anyone new to the Catholic faith. Frequently, he places the prayers in their historical and liturgical contexts. The prayers are conveniently grouped by theme, such as Morning and Evening Prayers, Devotions to Christ and Mary, and Prayers of Praise and Thanksgiving. Appropriately, the book begins with Basic Christian Prayers, including the Doxology, The Lord's Prayer, and the Hail Mary, among others.
