Piercing Heaven: Prayers of the Puritans - Robert Elmer

Descriere Piercing Heaven: Prayers of the Puritans - Robert Elmer

\nThat prayer is most likely to pierce heaven which first pierces one's own heart. \nFor the Puritans, prayer was neither casual nor dull. Their prayers were passionate affairs, from earnestly pleading for mercy to joyful praise. These rich expressions of deep Christian faith are a shining example of holy living. \n \nThe Puritan combination of warm piety and careful intellect have fueled a renaissance of interest in their movement. This combination is on display in Piercing Heaven, a collection of carefully selected prayers from leading Puritans. The language in these prayers has been slightly updated for a modern audience while still retaining the elevated tone of the Puritans. With prayers from Richard Baxter, Thomas Brooks, John Owen, and many more, each prayer reminds us that heartfelt prayer is central to the Christian life.\n
