great, unique and gets to the heart of Puritan prayer, Pilgrim prayer and prayer itself.

Some of these beautiful prayers have been published in small sets (booklets), albeit only partially, in Germany. The German translation is pretty decent. It was the first German edition of select Puritan Prayers from The Valley of Vision which caught my attention - rather it was God catching my attention! I am a pretty recent convert (about 2-3 years ago; just turned 60), and I have never been able to pray...however one wants to define that act, really...properly. God led me to this bonded leather edition, which I use for my daily morning and evening devotions without fail. Having had a taste initially of the German version of some of these prayers, I realize that the German translator "modernized" the prayers in the translation process. When I read, and meditate on the original Puritan English, I find myself modernizing the text mentally, or orally (since I often read the prayers out loud), for example by swapping "you" for "thou" etc. However, that notwithstanding, the original English version uses beautiful language. This bonded leather edition is beautifully crafted while at the same time offering durability. Thank you for publishing this collection of poetic prayers with so much respect and dignity for its treasured content!

My son gifted me with this a couple of years ago and I recently purchased it for my baby-Christian brother. It isn't hard to get past the thee's and thou's (You and Yours) and bask in the richness of deep faith and all-in commitment of these extraordinary believers. Nearly every day I am impacted by a new and fresh way of praising God and bringing supplications to Him. This little prayer book has been a great blessing to me.

I read the first couple poems and decided this would make a great devotional.

After reading excerpts from Valley of Vision at Crosswater Church, I was pleased to obtain a paperback copy from CBD. I find that reading one a day is very helpful to me spiritually, and purchased two copies to give two friends; one of who has just received her copy and she contacted me promptly, expressing appreciation for this special book
