Summary: Review of Lutheran Book of Prayer
Review: An excellent inspirational prayer book which guides all ages, even a young adult, in talking with God. Numerous prayers available for all holidays, special occasions, troubles, etc. I received this book as a Confirmation gift over 20 years ago and I now am buying this book for my niece for her confirmation.

Review: This prayer book is great if you are looking for prayers for specific people-- i.e. for lawmakers, for those who work in agriculture, for the mentally ill, etc. It also has two sets of weekday prayers. However, some of the prayers belie the 1970 publication date-- for example, there is a lot more about nuclear war than most of us probably feel pressing on our hearts at this time. This book does not represent Lutheranism's beautiful liturgical tradition, nor is it all that widely used by Lutherans (although it is frequently given as a confirmation gift!). So if you are looking for a guide to the liturgical life of prayer, buy a hymnal/service book or other resource instead.
