Stillness is an alien concept in today's busy world. Communication, entertainment, work and relationships seem accessible to us 24–7, and it can feel impossible to change the pace. In Be Still, Lucy Rycroft takes us on a journey of 30 Bible devotions, reflecting on the concept of being still. From Moses leading the Israelites through the Red Sea, to the raw emotions of the Psalms, to Jesus calming the storm, the focus of this book is how we, as Christians living in the crazed busyness of the 21st century, can absorb biblical truths to help us discover what being still looks like for us today.

It is wonderful to look back and see how prayer has truly shaped a ministry and made it bloom. The book has five categories: Approaching God; Prayers for the Journey; Seasons of the Christian Year; Together through the generations; How should we live? Each short daily prayer is accompanied by a thought, many of which are quotations from a wide variety of spiritual leaders, past and present. It encourages us to take the space to pray, meditate and wonder on our own, and then be prepared to be catapulted into the heady joy of sharing.

Review by Judith Lampard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eIn order to celebrate its centenary, BRF has published this treasury of prayers. Appropriately, The BRF Book of 100 Prayers: Resourcing your Spiritual Journey by Martin Payne begins with its Centenary Prayer thanking God for the growth of the work, from its local beginnings to its worldwide reach today. The Rev Leslie Mannering’s challenging words to his congregation in Brixton, south London, 100 years ago are remembered: ‘How can St Matthew’s become a spiritual force?… Only if our congregation as a solid whole realises that prayer and intercession is their supreme work as Christians.’ This is still BRFs’ vision today. Currently BRF has four areas of ministry: Anna Chaplaincy, offering spiritual care in older life; Living Faith; Messy Church and Parenting for Faith. Many readers will be aware of the regular prayer resources the charity produces. This book is a most welcome addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eMartyn Payne reminds readers that at the end of the First World War, the so-called Spanish flu killed around 50 million people. A century later the coronavirus pandemic spread rapidly around the world, again causing millions of deaths. Many of these prayers were composed at the time of this pandemic, some appearing initially on social media. With the similarity of emotions of fear, anxiety and loss, at both the start and close of this centenary, BRF is again encouraging people to ‘get a move on’ spiritually, as the need for prayer is as urgent today as it was a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eThese 100 new prayers are intended for private and public use and are divided into five sections: Approaching God, Prayers for the journey, Seasons of the year, Together through the generations, and How should we live? The text is accessible, concise, with well-chosen language and illustrations to complement the words. In addition to the numbered prayers, there are thoughts, comments and biblical quotes offering inspiration, hope and encouragement to readers on their personal spiritual journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eThe BRF Book of 100 Prayers, in addition to the useful, excellent, content, comes with an attractive cover and a ribbon marker and would be very suitable as a gift on significant occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eReviewed by Judith Lampard, a local preacher in the City Road circuit.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-10-28T15:49:05+00:00","created_at":"2024-10-28T15:48:16+00:00","vendor":"Martyn Payne","type":"eBook","tags":["Biblical engagement","Centenary Collection","Devotional","Glassboxx","Prayer"],"price":1299,"price_min":1299,"price_max":1299,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":53602954969468,"title":"eBook","option1":"eBook","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800391697","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"The BRF Book of 100 Prayers: Resourcing your spiritual journey - eBook","public_title":"eBook","options":["eBook"],"price":1299,"weight":200,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800391697","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/194.png?v=1730134967","\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/196.png?v=1730134948"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/194.png?v=1730134967","options":["Format"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":62923503468924,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.652,"height":2000,"width":1303,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/194.png?v=1730134967"},"aspect_ratio":0.652,"height":2000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/194.png?v=1730134967","width":1303},{"alt":null,"id":62923501535612,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.652,"height":2000,"width":1303,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/196.png?v=1730134948"},"aspect_ratio":0.652,"height":2000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/196.png?v=1730134948","width":1303}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital eBook Only - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAn illustrated collection of prayers by Martyn Payne.

Review by Judith Lampard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eIn order to celebrate its centenary, BRF has published this treasury of prayers. Appropriately, The BRF Book of 100 Prayers: Resourcing your Spiritual Journey by Martin Payne begins with its Centenary Prayer thanking God for the growth of the work, from its local beginnings to its worldwide reach today. The Rev Leslie Mannering’s challenging words to his congregation in Brixton, south London, 100 years ago are remembered: ‘How can St Matthew’s become a spiritual force?… Only if our congregation as a solid whole realises that prayer and intercession is their supreme work as Christians.’ This is still BRFs’ vision today. Currently BRF has four areas of ministry: Anna Chaplaincy, offering spiritual care in older life; Living Faith; Messy Church and Parenting for Faith. Many readers will be aware of the regular prayer resources the charity produces. This book is a most welcome addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eMartyn Payne reminds readers that at the end of the First World War, the so-called Spanish flu killed around 50 million people. A century later the coronavirus pandemic spread rapidly around the world, again causing millions of deaths. Many of these prayers were composed at the time of this pandemic, some appearing initially on social media. With the similarity of emotions of fear, anxiety and loss, at both the start and close of this centenary, BRF is again encouraging people to ‘get a move on’ spiritually, as the need for prayer is as urgent today as it was a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eThese 100 new prayers are intended for private and public use and are divided into five sections: Approaching God, Prayers for the journey, Seasons of the year, Together through the generations, and How should we live? The text is accessible, concise, with well-chosen language and illustrations to complement the words. In addition to the numbered prayers, there are thoughts, comments and biblical quotes offering inspiration, hope and encouragement to readers on their personal spiritual journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eThe BRF Book of 100 Prayers, in addition to the useful, excellent, content, comes with an attractive cover and a ribbon marker and would be very suitable as a gift on significant occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eReviewed by Judith Lampard, a local preacher in the City Road circuit.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x_MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Through biblical references, she encourages us to rely on Jesus and learn from him.

Through biblical references, she encourages us to rely on Jesus and learn from him.
