"God. We Need You.": A Year of Prayer in a Hospital Chapel - Paperback

by Jon Swanson (Author)

Every Sunday, people listen to readings from the Bible and then listen to someone pray. That happens around the world in a variety of settings. And the prayers respond to the setting and the scripture and the people. When a hospital chaplain prays in a hospital chapel every Sunday, the prayer represents the conversations with people and God that have happened that week. The words to God on behalf of the people must reflect knowing that people are living and dying, knowing that the listeners are facing good diagnoses and bad, the beginning and ending of life. This is a collection of a year of those Sunday morning prayers, based on Year C of the Revised Common Lectionary.
