This is a helpful resource for all ministers, perhaps especially those who lead the morning office in church – or indeed in the home.  It provides a reflection on one of the lectionary readings for Morning Prayer for every day of the year except Sundays.  Collectively, this covers a considerable amount of biblical material and provides much food for thought, especially as the twenty different authors represent a formidable group of senior clergy, often well-known and highly regarded authors.  It will therefore provide encouragement and authoritative wisdom throughout the new lectionary year.   The reflections are augmented by a useful general guide to Morning Prayer, a shortened form of Compline and a simple morning liturgy based on Common Worship.  The book is also available as an App for electronic devices and in e-format.  Recommended for all who take the morning office seriously and systematically.
