Description: John Keble's prayer
book contains over 100 pieces of poetry to be used for
prayer, devotions, or meditations on Sunday and holidays
throughout the Christian year. It was Keble's desire that
his readers would use his verses to unify their own
spiritual thoughts and feelings. The Christian Year opens
with morning and evening prayers, inspired by passages
from Luke and Lamentations. The majority of Keble's poems
correspond with a particular Sunday in the Christian year, but the book
also contains a number of poems for Christian holidays and important
events, such as matrimony, communion, and baptism. Keble's surpassing
talent as a poet is evident on every page. The beauty of his words and
the sincerity of his message are inspiring to Christians and
non-Christians alike.
