The Bible contains all kinds of prayers, from heart-rending cries of doubt and despair to joyful expressions of thanksgiving and praise.

This comprehensive anthology brings together the prayers recorded in the Bible. It also includes prayers based on parts of scripture that lend themselves to private or group devotions. The prayers are taken from all the major Bible translations, including the NRSV, NIV, REB, NJB, KJV and the Good News Bible.

There is a brief introduction outlining the different types of prayer and highlighting how using the Bible can strengthen and enrich your prayer life.
