Lancelot Andrewes and His Private Devotions

by Alexander Whyte

Simply stated, this little book is a true treasure. It can show you another level in the Christian life than many of us live. Andrewes was a leading light in the translation of the KJV Bible and that is the style of his prose. I have not used the Alexander Whyte edition, but those published by World and the Lancelot Andrewes Press. I strongly recommend getting whatever edition you can - whether you are Roman Catholic or Pentecostal you will be greatly enriched.
