Endorsements

‘When used slowly, for meditation and prayer, these pages have often been used by God’s Spirit to kindle my dry heart.’

— Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church

‘The prayers in The Valley of Vision are steeped in Scripture, yet never succumb to mere formula. These are theologically fresh and vibrant, yet they are rooted in confessionalism. They range over a huge sweep of Christian experience and devotion, but they are never merely esoteric or cute. The prayers brim with deep emotion and transparent passion, but they carefully avoid mere sentimentalism. This is a book that teaches readers to pray by example.”

— D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Wheaton, IL

‘The Valley of Vision is a wonderful collection of Puritan prayers which both help to shape and inform our own private devotions.  Perhaps more importantly, they aid pastors as they seek to lead their congregations in prayer and into the presence of God.’

— Carl Trueman, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia PA

‘I cannot commend enough The Valley of Vision, which is a compilation of over two-hundred pages of Puritan prayers (each of which are one page in length). I pray through one of these prayers every day. Sometimes the prayers are so meaningful and relevant that I will pray through the same prayer for days. This is a wonderful aid to supplement one’s own prayers. Indeed, these prayers will also teach one how to pray, and, at the same time, they teach theological truth. I cannot think of any Christian who would not benefit from these prayers.’

— Gregory Beale, Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, PA

‘It’s amazing how frequently the prayers from the little book The Valley of Vision show up in our worship services. The Valley of Vision is a collection of Puritan prayers, and I would put them in that category. That is, they are thoughtful, reflective, and meditative. They’re even written in a certain kind of cadence, if you’ve ever noticed, which is probably very intentional, so that they might be used in corporate settings. But they came out of a deep heart of communion with God.’

— John Piper, retired pastor from Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, MN and Founder of Desiring God Ministries
