"What a delightful little collection of prayers for the various situations pastors like me face from week to week. Before I had even finished reading A Pastor Prays For His People I found myelf using it to pray for my people. Not only did I find the prayers helpful in articulating what to pray but I also found them edifying for my own soul personally. Reminiscent of the classic Puritan collection of Scripture, pastorally insightful and sensitive. What a wonderful spur to the ministry of prayer that all pastors are to give themselves to, and yet can find a struggle to persevere in. I will be using this great book regularly from now on to both to bless my own soul and my people's." Ray Brown, minister, East London Tabernacle Baptist Church

"Wendell Hawley’s book is a classic of its kind. Born in pastoral ministry, rooted in sound theology, and with a cadence and rhythm that delights both the mind and the heart. Read and enjoy." Josh Moody, senior pastor, College Church in Wheaton; president, God Centered Life Ministries

"This treasury of prayers is a written version of the author's inspiring prayers uttered in church services when he was in pastoral ministry. The prayers are in the tradition of uplifting sentiments and verbal beauty known in the English-speaking world through the Anglican Prayerbook. The uses of the prayers in this book are multiple, but preeminently as a morning devotional uplift." Leland Ryken, professor emeritus, Wheaton College; author
