Everyday Prayer with the Puritans
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.
Donald K. McKim has served as a pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA), a professor of theology and academic dean at Memphis Seminary, a professor at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, and an editor for Westminster John Knox Press. He is an award-winning author and editor.
