  Available once again, reissued with a new cover, Bread of Tomorrow is a successful co-edition with Christian Aid Publications. Originally published in 1992, this is a powerful and richly-varied collection of prayers which focus on praying for the world's poor when living in a society whose self interest often lies in keeping them poor. The prayers, poems and meditations through the Christian year celebrate the struggle and the hope, and the solidarity of Christians with one another. They bring the concern for the poor to the heart of the church's living worship - for prayer itself is a valid form of action on behalf of the poor. Without false jolity in the face of suffering, or simplistic sloganeering in the face of complex political problems, the prayers are about being truthfully exposed to God in the real world. Devotional and inspirational, these prayers are designed for ordinary worship in a variety of denominational settings, as well as by individuals.
