"This inspiring anthology gathers a rich and diverse selection of prayers from famous people of all walks of life from the past two thousand years. Here are the prayers of individuals like Soren Kierkegaard, Mother Teresa, Michelangelo, Augustine, Martin Luther King, Jr., C. S. Lewis, Anne Bradstreet, Blaise Pascal, Francis of Assisi, and many more. Diverse in intention, emphasis, style, and feeling, these prayers are grouped according to six practical classifications to facilitate use. Much more than a work of purely historical interest, this volume makes an excellent tool for personal devotion, inspiring readers to deepen their own prayer lives."--

A timeless, little-known literary classic to engage a new generation of readers As the Black Death ravaged London in 1608, in the midst of societal chaos and tragedy, playwright Thomas Dekker wrote Four Birds of Noah’s Ark, a book containing fifty-six prayers for the people of London and all of England. The prayers in this book bear witness to Dekker’s deep faith with a power and poignancy that few written prayers in English literature achieve. Bringing Dekker’s devotional classic back into print for the first time since 1924, editor Robert Hudson has annotated the prayers and modernized their language without sacrificing their enchanting beauty and simplicity. Hudson’s substantive and illuminating introduction is a gem in itself.

In the many stages of life, we sometimes pass through moments of difficulty that drain our hope and tempt us to despair. The deaths of loved ones, the end of an important relationship or the loss of a job often leave us mourning. Physical or mental illness, chemical imbalances in our bodies and even the time after a child's birth may make life seem unbearable. In these times the words and prayers of our tradition can carry us until we reach a new place of joy. This new addition to LTP's small prayer book series gathers scriptures, hymns and holy wisdom to accompany anyone suffering depression in a their difficult journey.
