Review:

"During this time when there is a proliferation of prayer books being released—some good, some bad, — Bishop David Stancliffe has made a significant contribution to this body of literature. His text is comprehensive, and his emphasis upon instructing the believer before about prayer is commendable. Moreover, the text is accessible; it is easy to use for those people unfamiliar with the rhythms of praying with a book of prayer. The Pilgrim Prayer book will be welcomed by many." —The Anglican Missioner, July 2006
