Dimapur, June 12 (EMN): A book entitled, “Prayers and Litanies for all Occasions: Resource for Christian Living, Worship and Ceremonies” was released with prayer on June 10, by Alemsunep Jamir, Pastor of World Impact Community Church, Dimapur, at Clark Theological College (CTC) Chapel in the presence of students, faculty and staff members.
The book was authored by Dr. Eyingbeni Hümtsoe-Nienu, faculty at CTC and foreword was written by world renowned theologian and award winning author, Prof. Simon Chan.
The book is a set of original prayers that are generally modern in expression and sensitive to the present world realities and sufferings while also being relevant to the Church context. Its liturgical focus is reflected in prayers and litanies that can be purposefully included in Church/Christian worship. Apart from its general application, some prayers are meant to be exclusively personal to the one who prays them -for instance “Alcoholic’s Lament”. The prayers are a result of passionate reflection from the heart and mind and are aimed at helping Christians (also people of other religions) to pray with understanding of Christian faith, values and duties.
The book is instructive for people of all professions and age groups and will guide readers to pray with theological soundness, no matter what the circumstances. Some of the prayers are crafted in language that many new media users would identify. There is a benediction in facebook lingo that reads: “May the Lord update his will on the walls of your hearts, and post it for all to see your changed status. And may those to whom you are visible, like and share you to others, for the glory of God – Amen.”
The book was published by Christian World Imprints, New Delhi and will be available at book stalls in reasonably priced at INR 290. One can also purchase from the author or online.
