Have You Ever Tried Praying Poetically? |
I am thrilled to introduce my new book: Pilgrim Prayers: Devotional Poems That Awaken Your Heart to the Goodness, Greatness, and Glory of God. This curated collection of 50 poems, discovered through years of exploring volumes of poetry, offers fresh language to express both joy and sorrow, praise and lament in every season of life. Each poem is a prayer directed to God, meant for you to make your own. Pilgrim Prayers is designed for daily devotions (or reading straight through) and can be used to address specific topics in church gatherings or on special occasions. Each poem includes a brief reflection and a few questions for meditation and application. I hope these prayers, devotional gems from past generations, will bless a new generation of Christians as they grow in love and obedience to the Lord. |
Have You Ever Tried Praying Poetically? There are many ways to pray that are good, helpful, and honoring to God. Christians often find it a blessing to pray words others have written, like those in The Book of Common Prayer or The Valley of Vision. But have you ever tried praying poetically? In the past, Christians often wrote and prayed poetic prayers. Pilgrim Prayers provides a selection of these prayers for you to integrate into your own devotions. |
Prayers of Past Generations Not so long ago, poetry was highly valued among Christians. There were times when poetry was a primary form of communication and a key element of Christian spirituality. Thousands wrote devotional poems to express praise to God, and many more found spiritual benefit in reading them. Today, however, few are aware of this vast heritage. At the heart of this collection are poems that provide you with words to pray as part of your devotion to the Lord. "It is my hope and my confidence that these poems will serve you as well as they have served me—that you will come to treasure them as you pray them as the expression of your own heart." |

Endorsements for Pilgrim Prayers |
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. |
—Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, Author, Bible teacher, Revive Our Hearts Founder |
When I first began investigating the Bible as an atheist, I simply wanted to know if Christianity was true. I discovered it was both true and good; factual and beautiful. In Pilgrim Prayers: Devotional poems that awaken your heart to the goodness, greatness, and glory of God, Tim Challies gifts the Church with 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." |
