How’s that prayer life of yours going? Don’t know where to begin? Help is on the way. CPH is about to release a most excellent resource for daily prayer called a Treasury of Daily Prayer. And what a treasure chest it is, chocked full of gems, ancient and modern. Beginning with Ash Wednesday, each day has a psalm, three Scripture reading, a writing from one of the saints of the past, a hymn stanza, and a prayer of the day along with a daily reading guide to the Book of Concord.
But wait! There’s more! Great instructional stuff on the church year, the entire Psalter and a great way to pray through the psalms in a month, and a terrific guide to self-examination for confession using the ten commandments as a mirror in the form of questions (remember – curb, mirror, guide?). At over 1500 pages, it will also suffice as a free weight so you can combine your daily prayer and workout into one.
Our own David Petersen was an assisting editor, and he even managed to get three contributions from yours truly. All in all, this is a must have book for the praying Christian. Due to be released in October, it will make a wonderful Christmas gift too.
