Summary: No mindless mantras here . . . only food for the soul
Review: There are no mindless mantras here, only food for the hungry soul. What a service the editor has done in compiling together these beauty-filled, theologically-rooted, passionate, Puritan prayers for our use today! In an age where prayer is all too often treated with flippancy, rather than reverence and as a means to get things rather than as a channel for communion with God, this is a refreshing book. As with most of the Puritan writings, this book will nourish your inner man. It would be a wonderful gift for your spiritually minded friends.

Summary: "A VISION OF GOD"
Review: This collection of prayers by some of the Puritan fathers is one of the best sources for devotional reading, introspection, and meditation. The prayers of these men attempt to express the inexpressible greatness of God, while confessing their own utter
depravity. But these prayers really go far beyond this: they serve as a personal challenge to expand and elevate one's estimation of God, which can never be too high.

A friend recently gave me a copy as a gift. After reading a few of these prayers, I, too, gave some out as gifts. Is there anything greater than knowing God? Yes! and that is to know even more of His incomprehensible greatness. Let these prayers push you to a higher realm in your personal relationship with Him.

Summary: A Copy For Every Household
Review: This compilation of Puritan prayers is a definite must for every household. Whether in time of suffering or celebration this book is a treasure for contemplation on Christ. Bennett serves the people of God well in collecting and categorizing these rich prayers of our fellow saints from years past. Churches can print a different prayer each week for the congregation to read in preparation for worship. Also excellent for family worship and/or personal devotion. The leather bound edition makes an ideal gift!

Summary: A Banquet of Spiritual Nourishment
Review: This devotional book is one of the very best I have ever read. It reminds me of who God is, who I am before Him and inspires me to love Him more. Today there is so little depth in most Christian writings. This book is solid doctrine and yet not just doctrine but infused with the Holy Spirit's life and power causing me to humble myself before the Lord Jesus Christ and creating within me a hunger to know Him more and more. These saints of old knew Him in a deep way and we are blessed to be able to glean from their writings.
