This book begins with a selection of essays providing practical advice for families beginning the habit of daily prayer. This advice is merely based upon my own personal experience and derives from material originally published on my blog, We See Through a Mirror Darkly (www.thruamirrordarkly.wordpress.com).[1] It is my intent that this section explains how to benefit a regular family prayer life and encourages laity on how to develop a habit of common prayer. I credit Bishop Edmund Gibson for his original work on family and individual devotions for spurring me to write those essays and, in turn, this book. The committee that drafted the 1928 Book of Common Prayer should be commended for adopting many of the prayers he authored into the Family Prayers section of that prayer book.
