Publisher's Description
Tim Challies—author of Seasons of Sorrow— invites you into a treasure trove of devotional poetry from our spiritual forebearers. This curated collection of 50 poems, which Challies has found over years of combing through volumes of poetry new and old, will offer you new language to express both joy and sorrow, praise and lament in any season of life. Throughout Pilgrim Prayers, you'll discover the poetic riches expressed through devotional prayers that celebrate the acts of God and marvel at his ways. This collection is designed for daily devotions and mediations and can be used for addressing specific topics in church gatherings or on special occasions. Each entry has an introduction reflecting on the prayer by Challies, helpful explanations of any difficult phrases or words, related Scriptures for study, and a question for application and reflection. These prayers, devotional gems of past generations, will bless a new generation of Christians as they seek to grow in love and obedience to the Lord.

“Tim Challies has drawn from the warmhearted expressions of saints who have gone before us and added thoughtful reflections of his own. The result, Pilgrim Prayers, will provide fresh fuel for the fire of your devotion to the Lord.”
“When I first began investigating the Bible as an atheist, I simply wanted to know whether Christianity is true. I discovered it is both true and good, factual and beautiful. In Pilgrim Prayers, Tim Challies gives the church a moving reminder of Christianity’s incredible power through inspiring poetry. This book will change the way you rejoice in God’s grace in periods of plenty and trust in his provision in seasons of suffering. Let Pilgrim Prayers deepen your devotional life as it helps you explore the rich, beautiful, and creative history of Christian poetry.”
“Tim Challies is a treasure hunter. He has rummaged through the attic of Christian history, he has rediscovered priceless prayers written as poetry, he has dusted them off, and he has now brought them back out for use today. We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses—men and women who ran the race faithfully through prayer—and with Tim as a guide to deeper devotion to our Lord, we now can join our hearts to theirs, echoing their praises and petitions, giving glory to the same God who saves and sanctifies his people.”
