    Alternative Collects: Prayers to a Disruptive & Compassionate God

    by Graham Turner

    Paperback £8.99 £7.99
    ISBN: ISBN: 9781910519806

    These radical prayers break the mould of the “collect” prayers that are so familiar to millions of Christians worldwide. They are the result of the author’s struggle with the blandness and predictability of so many of the church’s traditional prayers. Useful for both personal and liturgical devotion, these prayers will both challenge and nourish.
