Book Review: ESV Prayer Bible

Prayer is an easy yet hard thing to do. We can pray to God, but there are times we may not have the words or think we have the right words. We have examples of prayers in the Bible such as the Psalms and the Model Prayer a.k.a the Lord's Prayer. The Bible is the best place to start when it comes learning about prayer and what to pray.

Crossway has released a new resource to help believers pray as they engage with Scripture, which is appropriately titled, the ESV Prayer Bible. At first, I thought this was going to be a book with Scripture references and prayers to help believers pray, but this is not the case. It is an actual Bible with all the books with prayers from people in church history such John Wesley, George Herbert, John Calvin, Richard Baxter, and George Whitefield.

This Bible uses the popular single-column format and the font is really good which a small font is used for the prayers so that did not get confused with Scripture. Each book has a little introduction as you begin reading the Bible. There is also an introduction from Donald Whitney on how and why we should pray the Bible. There is also a reading plan, a concordance, and an index to find the various prayers in this Bible.

I am delighted to recommend the ESV Prayer Bible to everyone. I hope this resource will help you as a guide to go the Father in prayer.

Thanks Crossway for letting me review this Bible.
