“Let me fall again to prayer and praise.”
Covering a span from the early 1700s to the early 1900s, Joy of Heaven captures prayers from dedicated believers who lived out their faith in a rapidly changing world. In the midst of upheaval there also came a spirit of revival, particularly during the times we call the First and Second Great Awakenings. The early evangelicals prioritized holy living, seeking God in his word, and sharing their faith. Their prayers are arranged by topic and time―whether praise or petition, morning or evening―so that your prayer life can be interwoven with the rich tapestry of prayers of faithful Christians from the past. By praying along with Amy Carmichael, Charles and Susannah Spurgeon, Jonathan Edwards, John and Charles Wesley, and many others, we learn from those who came before us and build a stronger connection with our heritage—as well as to the Lord who spans the centuries.

The various revivals from this era contain rich models for prayer, for one of the great hallmarks of all genuine revival is prayer. May the Lord Jesus use this book of prayers to both stimulate a deep-seated hunger for revival and even, in his grace and mercy, be a vehicle for another great awakening.
