Prayers for the Pilgrimage - A Book of Collects for All of Life

W. David O. Taylor

Sinossi

A Treasury of Over 350 Prayers for Every Aspect of Life
Priest and theologian David Taylor began writing collects, an ancient form of short prayer, as a daily spiritual exercise and as a way for him to offer back to God his own fears and anxieties. Over time, as requests for written prayers from friends and even strangers multiplied, his collection expanded to over 350 prayers, each one shaped to address the diverse circumstances and needs we encounter on life's journey.
Prayers for the Pilgrimage is a compilation of Taylor's prayers, arranged by topics across all aspects of life and inviting you into a richer devotional life. Accompanied by the beautiful artwork of Phaedra Taylor, the author's wife, this volume provides spiritual nourishment for those looking to deepen their relationship with God through prayer.
What you'll find in Prayers for the Pilgrimage:

- Over 350 carefully crafted prayers covering a wide range of life's experiences and needs.
- A practical appendix that guides you in writing your own collects.
- Beautiful, original artwork by Phaedra Taylor that enriches your devotional experience.

This book includes prayers for morning and evening, work and play, public life and private life, doubt and faith, from Advent to Lent, from birth to death. We are invited to pray all of our lives back to God, lest we begin to believe that there is any part of our lives that God isn't interested in seeing. Prayers for the Pilgrimage  gives you not only specific prayers but also a model for understanding your whole life as prayer.

Understanding Biblical Law -...

Dru Johnson

Southwestern Journal of Theology 2025 Book Award (Honorable Mention, Biblical Reference / Biblical Backgrounds)

We tend to be perplexed by the psalmists who express delight in God's laws. We see biblical law as a long list of rules with harsh punishments, and the more we read the biblical law within modern legal frameworks, the stranger it appears. We are too estranged from its world, aims, and concerns to see its beauty and wisdom.

In Understanding Biblical Law, Dru Johnson
reorients the reader to see biblical law through ancient Israelite eyes. He deconstructs common myths regarding biblical law and shows how it often differs significantly from both modern law and ancient Near Eastern law. Johnson weaves in an ancient murder mystery between chapters to show how ancient Israelites could have reasoned with and through Torah to solve real-life problems. He then demonstrates how we can do the same by discerning biblical law's literary and historical contexts, appreciating its sophisticated wisdom, and distinguishing it from our modern legal notions.

This book is engaging and accessible for undergrads and laypeople but robust enough for seminarians. Johnson demonstrates a skill-based approach for interpreting Old Testament law and uses examples to encourage readers to practice these skills for themselves.

When we enter the biblical world, we see with the psalmists the beauty and sophistication of Israel's laws and discover a rich resource for thinking about the law's theological implications for Hellenistic Judaism, the New Testament, and readers today.

AUTHOR DESCRIPTION
I am practicing astrology from many decades. With my experience knowledge and wisdom I have written many books. I believe in providing best knowledge to all the people across globe. I have seen thousands of horoscope in my life and experienced many events of astrology in past few decades. I welcome each person to enhance their knowledge of astrology by joining me in this divine journey. I am a software engineer and investor by profession and I took astrology as a hobby. But this hobby became my passion when I started decoding the secrets of universe hidden in astrology or jyotish vidya. Our ancient seer possessed divine third eye to decode the universe and written down the astrology in form of scripture I am presenting this divine knowledge in front of entire world. I recommend every body to make the best out of my books. I welcome each person in the world to dip in the ocean of divine and cosmic energy of universe called jyotish. It is also called as light of God. Because knowledge of astrology is directly provided by God to humans in ancient times. The kind of bliss you will feel in this journey will evolve your soul to next stage of spiritualism. This journey will blow your mind and senses and will connect your soul to divine. I definitely believe you will feel bliss with this gyan(knowledge).
