Christian Prayer Book

Pray with the words that have carried Christians for centuries.

This Christian prayer book brings together more than 120 biblical and traditional prayers for every day and every season of life: morning and evening prayers, grace at meals, prayers in fear, illness and grief, prayers for family and friends, and the great psalms of Holy Scripture. Every Bible text is quoted word for word from the classic King James Version (KJV), and every prayer comes with a short explanation that helps you understand it and pray it from the heart.

The book deliberately contains no newly invented prayers. It draws on the treasury of the Christian faith: the Bible itself and the prayers that believers have prayed through the ages.

What you will find inside
