Lifting Up Our Hearts: 150 Selected Prayers from John Calvin

“These prayers of Calvin collected by Dustin Benge are particularly rich in biblical and theological substance. They provide a mini–theology in themselves but also embody the wonder that a God of grace has opened up the way that sinners might enter with hope into His presence.”

“Dustin Benge has done the church a great service by compiling this generous selection of prayers by the great Genevan Reformer, John Calvin. Extracted from his luminous Old Testament Commentaries, these fervent intercessions reveal the warm piety that accompanied this theological genius. Calvin’s personal logo was an open hand, holding a heart, extended upward to God with the words, ‘My heart I offer to Thee, Lord, promptly and sincerely.’ This book clearly demonstrates such singular devotion to God. Here is Calvin’s high doxology, arising upward from his high theology. And here is his exaltation of God, ascending from sound exegesis and exposition. By reading these prayers, I have no doubt but that your own heart will be likewise inflamed.”
