A sunburst of musical diamonds

I have always found public praying hard and would rather not do it, but I still have to as a worship leader, and so when I came across this book, I quickly bought a copy and began reading.

Leading in Prayer, A Workbook for Worship

I have only just started but have already found it very useful. My next rostered duty will be a month away, which gives me enough time to finish reading it.

Check it out, if you do appreciate 15th century high church music, that is.
