I’m in the [hopefully] final stages of writing a book on prayer. The working title is ”Praying the Pattern; the Lord’s Prayer as framework for prayer and life”
and my synopsis at this stage reads: “Praying with the body, praying with our lifestyles, with organisers, scrapbooks stones and cards, creative ideas and liturgies, all of this and more to help us to pray the pattern of the lord’s prayer. The ‘Our Father’ is often repeated verbatim but much less often prayed as pattern. This book advocates taking the Lord’s prayer way more seriously and gives us ideas and ways in to explore it for ourselves. You’ll also find questions for further thought and an invitation to continue the exploration and share your discoveries and thought with others through the book’s wiki web site.”
Just got the final touches to put to the main text and a liturgy or two to polish off. Then it’s into the publishing process

Your book sounds great, sounds ideal for Housegroups or a theme for Alt Worship.
Other people that I have spoken to about it have been saying similar things. I expect that the main 'takers' will be people into alt.wordshippy stuff, retreatants and retreat leaders, creative prayer groups and just plain looker-for-ideas on prayer. It will be marketted virally and via my own websites and contact so you will know it has been published by the fact that it will be advertised here! Hopefully within the next couple of months.
