Christoph Blumhardt
(1842 – 1919) was a German Lutheran theologian. He didn't publish
these prayers when he was alive. They were spoken prayers shared with
his friends, including Deitrich Bonhoeffer, Emil Brunner, Karl
Barth and others. Because the prayers were spoken, we can feel the
author's voice in the beautiful language. I love the feeling of peace
reading these prayers gives you.
Each prayer is
accompanied by a scripture reference. This makes them perfect for
meditation and devotion at the end of the day. There are 365 prayers
making this devotional perfect for a year's worth of worship. Often
it's difficult to find time in the evening to speak with God, but
these prayers make it easy. Sometimes words don't flow, but these
prayers and scripture give you a way to start.
I highly recommend
this devotional. It would make a wonderful gift or an addition to
your own collection of devotionals.
I reviewed this book
for Handlebar Publishing.
