The words of the Puritans are so saturated with Godly wisdom that we’d all do well to read them on a daily basis. If you struggle with prayer or are looking for ways to boost your prayer life, this book is a wonderful way to do that. This compilation of puritan prayers is broken up into various categories including topics like Praise to the Father, Gratitude, Confession, Tims of Anxiety, Morning and Evening, Everyday Life. Each prayer is rich in gospel-centered truth, pointing the reader to fix their eyes on Jesus Christ. Chester did a wonderful job at updating the language for modern readers without losing any of the theological richness of the original.
I really appreciate the source list at the end of the book to do further reading if so desired. And the ribbon bookmark is a nice touch!
This is a book all homes should have. I leave it on our coffee table for anyone to pick up and read when they have a few spare minutes. There’s abundant richness within this small book that is appropriate for any day of the year.

Christopher Ash, Writer in Residence, Tyndale House"These superb prayers model and teach a rich, deep devotion to God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Soaked in Scripture, they are wonderfully realistic about the life of faith." |
Lee Gatiss, Series Editor, The Complete Works of John Owen"Full of arresting images and comforting truths, this is a precious resource to come back to time and again for spiritual refreshment, pastoral challenge, and pure adoration of our gracious and sovereign God.” |
Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor's Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary"There is something in Into His Presence to help all of us to experience communion with God in every situation of life. Tim Chester has given us a treasure trove." |
Eric Schumacher, Pastor, Author, Ours: Biblical Comfort for Men Grieving Miscarriage"All Christians find themselves, from time to time, knowing they need to pray but not knowing how. These prayers, taken from the writings of our brothers and sisters of the past, are a blessed guide to prayer when we lack words of our own." |

Theological Riches
What can we learn from Puritan prayers? In Into His Presence, Tim Chester takes you along in praying with the Puritans.Faithful SaintsIn just over 200 pages, this is a beautiful book. The prayers cover a wide variety of topics, including prayers of gratitude and dependence, as well as prayers for times of need and times of temptation.Half of the prayers are Puritan prayers edited by Chester. The other half were created by Chester out of descriptive passages from Puritan sermons or books. This is truly a work of art, collaborating with saints in the past and giving new life to their prayers. Read them as a part of personal devotions to be inspired and think about the faithful saints who have come before us.Theological RichesWhat I most appreciated was the modern language used throughout. Chester updated the language while trying to retain the feel of the original writers. This results in richly theological, accessible prayers that sound natural enough to read aloud with a modern audience in mind. Employ them in the pulpit and use them during your family devotions.Housed in a small, beautiful blue hardcover, this book makes the perfect Christmas gift to guide you in prayer throughout the new year. The book concludes with brief biographical entries on each author. I was reminded of the privilege of prayer, and resolved to live my life in the presence of God.I received a media copy of Into His Presence and this is my honest review.

This book is binded upside down. That is a big annoyance because it has a ribbon marker. I’m returning it.
