Piercing Heaven

Prayers of the Puritans

Robert Elmer

Quantity

"That prayer is most likely to pierce heaven which first pierces one's own heart."
For the Puritans, prayer was neither casual nor dull. Their prayers were passionate affairs, from earnestly pleading for mercy to joyful praise. These rich expressions of deep Christian faith are a shining example of holy living.

The Puritan combination of warm piety and careful intellect have fueled a renaissance of interest in their movement. This combination is on display in Piercing Heaven, a collection of carefully selected prayers from leading Puritans. The language in these prayers has been slightly updated for a modern audience while still retaining the elevated tone of the Puritans. With prayers from Richard Baxter, Thomas Brooks, John Owen, and many more, each prayer reminds us that heartfelt prayer is central to the Christian life.

Piercing Heaven

This collection of prayers is stirring, personal, biblical and rich. The puritans have much to teach us about the discipline of labouring in prayer and this volume is a great place to glean from. With prayers from people like John Bunyan, John Owen, Anne Bradstreet, Thomas Boston and Matthew Henry, to name just a few, the book overflows with heartfelt devotion from Spirit–filled people, with Bible saturated minds and gospel kindled hearts. This is a great resource to have at hand to ignite and fuel a dependent intimacy with God through our prayers. At times you just need to lay the book down and inhale deeply.
