About the Book

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.

About the Author :
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.

Review :
A devotional that aims to help us pray with help from the Puritans should be enough to convince readers to "take up, read, and pray." But what I especially enjoyed about this book is how manageable it is: short devotions that strike the right balance between the Scriptures and the helpful theological ruminations from Dr. Donald McKim and the Puritans. If you struggle with prayer, you may find that this book is a helpful tool to make prayer a rewarding and soul-enriching daily habit. Even seasoned prayer-warriors will not fail to learn more about "familiar conversation with God" from this book.--Mark Jones, Senior Minister, Faith Reformed Presbyterian Church, Vancouver Dr. McKim offers a worthy companion to his earlier works encouraging everyday prayer. Between these covers, praying readers will find meditations on God's Word, pithy quotations from Puritans, and encouragements in the form of reflection questions and prayer points. Read this book on your knees, and you will draw closer to the God of the patriarchs, prophets, and other parents in the faith.--Chad Van Dixhoorn, Professor of Church History, Westminster Theological Seminary From the church fathers onward, 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 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 The Bible describes the prayers of the saints as the incense that continually rises from the golden censer on the altar before the heavenly throne of the triune God. Donald McKim's Everyday Prayer with the Puritans provides the right kindling so that we can fan the embers of faith into a flame from which the incense of our prayers can rise into the heavenly holy of holies. He gives the church an excellent resource for both the joys and trials of life--Christ-focused prompts and prayers from our Puritan forebears from which we can all profit.--J. V. Fesko, Harriett Barbour Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi We all know prayer matters, but since we struggle, sometimes we either end up avoiding it or making it overly complicated. In this wonderful little devotional, Donald McKim draws on both his deep knowledge of the Puritans and his deep knowledge of God, offering us not only well-earned wisdom and sensible encouragement on prayer but also gentle questions to make sure we are making connections ourselves. His goal is not merely to teach us more about prayer but to help us actually to pray! McKim does not overwhelm but offers just enough to point us in the right direction and get us started. I hope it encourages you as it did me.--Kelly M. Kapic, Professor of Theology, Covenant College
