"Gleaning from Puritan Prayers" was born out of the desire to see a no-cost alternative to the more popular "on the market" books on Puritan Prayers. Having been a co-operative effort from two members of the Facebook forum "Gleaning from the Puritans," (as the title of the book is a small nod to,) we are able to see first hand many fellow Brothers and Sisters who equally enjoy and find edification in the writings of the Puritans, not having the same access to for-cost Puritan Prayer books so easily accessible in the West. With this in mind, we set out to remedy this plight by bringing together a collection of various Puritan Prayers to be published, at no cost, especially in digital form.
The process of choosing the prayers for this book, was to look at the popular lists of known Puritan & Non-Conformists authors, and utilize their created works on prayer. Instead of choosing individual prayers, or, mixing various prayers to create new ones, or, creating new prayers based on "Puritan" style; we instead chose various Puritan authors "works" on prayer, and utilized the prayers within. This is why you will see the chapter headings, at least in the digital publication, denote the author and subsequent work instead of individual headings on specific topics. Within that authors specific work there will be scores of prayers on different subjects.
These Puritan prayers, are purely Puritan prayers. They are the prayers in the authors own writings, and the only editing done is to update spelling, and only modernize the most archaic words. We have chosen to break up the collection into 3 Vols. Included within the 3 Vols. will be, Lord Willing, the prayers from the Puritan works below.
We hope this publication blesses you, and proves to be useful, especially in the intended goal; that all would be able to enjoy "Gleaning from Puritan Prayers" regardless of income or region.
Soli Deo Gloria
