Over the last decade, this little devotional book has led me through some of the most amazing spiritual retreats and times of extended prayer that I have ever had! Organized to use in conjunction with the liturgical year, or however the Spirit leads, A Guide to Prayer for Ministers and Other Servants is chuck full of deep insights and profound anthologies from a wide variety of devotional sources. It also includes 12 monthly retreat models -- indispensible for those new to the practice of personal (or group) spiritual retreats. You know, it's available in an inexpensive paperback version, but believe me, you'll want to splurge for the nicer one -- it'll last a lot longer. Check it out!
