Piercing Heaven: Prayers of the Puritans

We’re all aware that we can grow in prayer. But sometimes practical help seems hard to find. Enter Piercing Heaven, a beautifully bound book of Puritan prayers that have been organized and modernized for our encouragement. Similar to The Valley of Vision, it’s a collection of profound prayers that can be used for devotional study or as a springboard for your personal prayer life. This is one of the books I’ve been reaching for frequently during these days of disruption and uncertainty, and one I anticipate using for many years to come. I trust it will be a helpful, lifelong companion for you as well!
