Very Nice Collection of Prayers

This is a great collection of Christian Prayers. It is arranged well, and laid out exceptionally well. If you are looking for a collection of prayers for every occaision, this is an excellent choice. A nice index helps as well. I never used to use "pre-made" prayers; now I am happy to have this on my bedstand for those hard times I need someone elses words.

Best collection of Christian prayers I've come across

This book was given to me as a gift and in turn I have given it as a gift to 3 separate people. This book combines classic and comtemporary prayers for every occassion. Sometimes I simply wandered through one section and sometimes I went to the thorough index to find exactly the type of prayer I was looking for. A great referance book!
