Evening Prayers: For Every Day of the Year

Evening Prayers: For Every Day of the Year

by Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt (Author), Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt (Author)

Synopsis

End each day of the year peacefully by turning to God with a prayer and a Bible passage. We want to turn to God at the end of each day, but often don't find the words to express our deepest feelings and longing. This collection of prayers is one of the few daily devotionals especially intended for use in the evening. Blumhardt's words bespeak a certainty in God's nearness. The peace that flows from them comes from an unshakeable conviction that God's kingdom is indeed on the way. In stormy and challenging times like our own, most of us need this reassurance frequently, if not daily.

Media Reviews
Blumhardt's conviction that God is present and powerful and able to still work his will in the world today breathes through every prayer. These are as striking , moving, and provocative now as they surely were when Blumhardt prayed them. --John E. Phelan, Jr., The Covenant Companion
This book of prayers is a treasure, a precious pearl. May others discover its riches, as I have. --Luci Shaw, author, Water My Soul
Author Bio
Pastor, politician, and author, Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt (1842-1919) with his unconventional ideas about the kingdom of God, profoundly influenced a whole generation of European seekers. Among the luminaries he influenced were Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Emil Brunner, Oscar Cullman, and Karl Barth. Yet his vision and witness are still waiting to be discovered by most Americans, few of whom have had access to his works. He carried forward the work of his father, Johann Christoph Blumhardt (1805-1880), who is regarded by many as the key figure of German pietism.
