Drink deeply from the wisdom of the church fathers. Drawing on the extensive research done for the Ancient Christian Commentary, Crosby and Oden pair writings from the patristic era with daily meditations and prayers that coincide with the Scripture readings in cycle C of the Revised Common Lectionary. Ideal for individual and corporate worship. 296 pages, softcover from InterVarsity.

By allowing us to read holy writings with ancient eyes, the church fathers help us drink deeply from the only water that can give us true life. A follow-up to the previous Ancient Christian Devotional, which follows lectionary cycle A, this devotional guide follows lectionary cycle C, which begins in Advent 2009. This guide to prayer and reflection combines excerpts from the writings of the church fathers as found in the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture with a simple structure for daily or weekly reading and prayer. There are fifty-two weeks of readings following the weekly lectionary cycle C, which you can read through in order or by thematic interest. Each day you will also find a simple opening and closing prayer drawn from the prayers and hymns of the ancient church. Come and find the deep nourishment God offers.
