A Joyous Corrective to A Man-Centered Prayer Focus,
By
This review is from: Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions (Leather Bound)
I can think of no other work that I have read that has influenced my prayer life, and the content of my prayers, as much as this gem of a collection that Arthur Bennett has complied and edited from some of the great Purtian divines. I owned the original paperback, and now am very pleased to have this new bonded leather version (complete with ribbon bookmark).These men of faith prayed Scripturally informed, joyous, repentant prayers that never left any doubt that God was the focus, and that pleasing and praising and enjoying Him was the goal of the prayers. Here is just a small sample: "O Lover of the Loveless, it is thy will that I should love thee with heart, soul, mind, strength, and my neighbor as myself. But I am not sufficient for these things. There is by nature no pure love in my soul; Every affection in me is turned from thee; I am bound, as slave to lust, I cannot love thee, lovely as thou art, until thou dost set me free. By grace I am thy freeman and would serve thee, for I believe thou art my God in Jesus, and that through him I am redeemed, and my sins forgiven." (pp. 250). There is a wonderful sense of joy, hope and love, mixed with seriousness, repentance, and faith. I turn to these prayers again and again when my heart is hard, my mind lacks the right words, or when I am tempted. At our church, we often include prayers from this work in our bulletin for folks to meditate on as they prepare for worship. They are also wonderful for 'jump starting' your own personal worship and prayer times with the Lord. Get a copy today - you won't regret it!

This review is from: Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions (Leather Bound)
Valley of Vision is an amazing devotional resource. Theological rich, praying along with the puritans will prove a certain blessing to anyone who should choose to join them.

Excellent Book!,
By
This review is from: Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions (Leather Bound)
I have loved going through this book. The prayers and thoughts that are put on these pages are so God centered, Christ exalting and blessedly humbling. This book serves as a good tool to begin the day with (or anytime really) as you pray, read the word of God, and go about your business for the glory of God. Highly recommended!
