The Treasury of Daily Prayer has been receiving rave reviews from many different sources in varying denominations. This is simply a fantastic resource, something many people have searched for for a long time. But don't take our word for it. Read this (partial) review by our friend Michael Spencer from internetmonk.com:
If you want a resource for personal or small group liturgical prayer, with abundant options, complete explanation of the Christian year, scripture passages printed out, readings from Church fathers included and much more, your search is permanently over. The Treasury of Daily Prayer surpasses any resource I’ve seen.
What impresses me the most here is not what other resources do, but what no other resource does. I am constantly looking for resources synced with the Christian year AND for the Christian year to be completely explained. Done.
I’m looking for Lenten devotions with a catechetical focus. Done. I want liturgical prayer that includes readings from the church fathers and reference to doctrinal confessions. Done. I want the process of liturgical prayer explained step by step and in its component parts, so that those with no background in such prayer can begin with confidence. Done.
...It’s a feast folks. Seriously. I’ve seen nothing this good or even close.
This is the kind of large resource that can make a lifetime contribution to personal worship. It is a complete education in the Protestant liturgical prayer tradition, Lutheran version.
Concordia Publishing House has also made available a "How To Use" reference PDF for the Treasury of Daily Prayer on their website, which we're making available here as well. We highly recommend that you take a look at it - and print it if you can - in order to help guide you as you begin to discover all the great material in this book.
