Seeking - Recommendations of Collections (Books) of Prayers
Greetings everyone!
Prayer is hard, and so I have greatly valued reading, learning from, and praying the prayers of other Christians. To that end, I am looking for books etc which are collections of prayers - historical or contemporary. Especially keen to hear you have local or denominational collections I might not be aware about.
Currently I've got the following, what am I missing? Or what do you recommend?
Anglican Specific:
- The 1662 Book of Common Prayer (and local variants, as well as the International Edition).
- The Prayer Book of Queen Elizabeth, 1559
- The Book of Christian Prayers, 1578
- Parish Prayers - Edited by Frank Colquhoun
Other:
- The Valley Of Vision by Arthur G Bennett
- Fount of Heaven: Prayers of the Early Church - Edited by Robert Elmer
- Grace from Heaven: Prayers of the Reformation - Edited by Robert Elmer
- Piercing Heaven: Prayers of the Puritans - Edited by Robert Elmer
- Joy of Heaven: Prayers of the Revivals - Edited by Robert Elmer
- Prone to Wander: Prayers of Confession and Celebration by Duguid
- Streams of Mercy: Prayers of Confession and Celebration by Duguid
I also have the various 'Liturgy for Daily Worship' books by Jonathan Gibson which include a lot of historical prayers within them (and helpfully provide the sources).
