"It is required, that our prayer be speech of the soule," wrote royal chaplain George Downame. In this devotional, Donald McKim takes us back to the wisdom of the Protestant Reformers—including John Calvin, Martin Luther, Philip Melanchthon, George Downame, and more than twenty others. Drawing from their writings and prayers, he provides brief, meditative readings to nourish our prayers today with the wisdom of yesteryear.
