What is new in the Gotteslob after the 2013 revision? The selection of prayers and songs is larger than in its predecessor. This is evident in the increased inclusion of new spiritual songs and ecumenical hymns. It continues to contain a variety of both old and new traditional church songs. The proportion of songs in multipart harmony and multilingual songs has been increased. For example, Taizé songs are now more prominently featured. The appearance has been changed: red color elements in the print layout provide better clarity. Three colored picture plates featuring works of visual art help to visually divide the book into its major sections. The new Gotteslob offers inspiration for faith life in private and family settings. It includes templates for family devotions and prompts for private or communal Bible reading, similar to the old Gotteslob.
