In "Prayers for a Privileged People," this much-published author sculpts as carefully as if with chisel prayers on behalf of those who are people of privilege and entitlement the "haves" at an urgent moment in our society. The privileged face, on the one hand, the seduction of denial or, on the other, the temptation of despair. These prayers of wisdom and prophetic power remind us that when things go wrong, when we are afraid, and when we feel prodded by those who lack voice, there is a conversation we can have a conversation situated amid the promises and commands of God. From the Circuit Rider review: "This is a beautiful collection of poetic and prophetic prayers, words to be prayed with, mulled over, pondered, savored and challenged by. For in this little text, we glimpse a side of Brueggemann we may not have known through his rich Scripture studies alone. Here, he draws on not only his extensive years of study and teaching of the Psalms and the prophets, but his own faith immersion in the church year and in the liturgies of the church."

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    These beautifully written, down to earth and compassionate meditations will help those of us who enjoy cultural, political or economic privileges to be mindful of the many who do not share them. We will find ourselves being ‘dispatched’ by God to get our minds off ourselves and to live for the sake of others. I strongly recommend you to use and ponder these prayers, many of which start from Bible stories or events in the world, and find yourself changed in the process. Brueggemann’s concern for justice and freedom will make this a ‘subversive’ exercise, in which you refuse to accept the way things are.
