Events

Join us at Regent College on Monday, June 17, 7–8:30 pm, for the launch of Julie Lane-Gay's much-anticipated book, The Riches of Your Grace: Living in the Book of Common Prayer. The evening will include an introduction from Julie herself, a short reading, and an interview of Julie conducted by current student Eunice Sunmie Derksen. There will be a book signing at the Regent Bookstore following the event.

About the Book

As we’re heading to work in the morning, having coffee with a friend, or falling into bed exhausted, we want to feel God’s presence, to sink into his grace—but too often He feels aloof. We wonder if our prayers are heard. For nearly 500 years, the Book of Common Prayer has been available to nourish Christians in the presence and riches of God and his grace.

Julie has written this book to share the treasures she’s found in the Book of Common Prayer. Neither a history nor a guide (though it will help readers get their bearings), The Riches of Your Grace is a vista of how the Prayer Book can be lived, in daily life and church and how its prayers and patterns can shape us.
