<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The Puritans found God's goodness in day-to-day life; through meditative readings and reflective points, Donald McKim explores their teaching on prayer to inspire and inform your own devotions"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>History often remembers the Puritans as killjoys and little more. Yet although they were highly disciplined, they were far from joyless. Puritans recognized the goodness of God in everything around them and strove to draw closer to him in all things in life. This Christ-centered outlook and pure contentment fills their prayers and writings with deep wisdom and universal truths we can still learn from today. What can we learn from the Puritans? Donald McKim explores how Puritan teaching on prayer can lighten the daily struggles of Christian life. Learn from the words of influential Puritan ministers, writers, theologians, and nonconformists including Richard Baxter, John Flavel, Matthew Henry, and Thomas Manton. Discover how to bring God into all aspects of your life though prayer. Each entry includes meditative readings, Scripture explication, and prayer prompts to inspire and inform your own devotions.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>From the church fathers onwards, theology was understood to be inseparable from worship and prayer. This connection has been eroded over the past few centuries. Don McKim's work is helping to repair this breach. Using his own reflections on the prayers and observations of major Puritan writers as a way to root good theology in Christian piety is a task he performs magnificently.--Robert Letham Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology Union School of Theology<br><br>More than a collection of Puritan prayers, this book presents Puritan insights into God-centered, biblical spirituality in order to enrich our prayers. Donald McKim's brief but profound meditations are very helpful in the cultivation of what the Puritans called 'a suitable frame of heart' to speak with our Father in heaven.--Joel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan<br>
