About the author

Works of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Protestant theologian of Germany, concern Christianity in the modern world; for his role in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, people executed him.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer served as a Lutheran pastor. He, also a participant in the movement of Resistance against Nazism and a member, founded the confessing church. Members of the Abwehr, the military intelligence office planned his involvement, which resulted in his arrest in April 1943 and his subsequent hanging in April 1945 shortly before the end of the war. His secular view influenced very many people.

How can saints from the past help you to grow in your prayer life? In Come Boldly, NavPress offers a devotional reader featuring timeless daily encouragements on prayer.

Classic Books on Prayer

NavPress mined the best Christian thinkers to help you commune with your Heavenly Father. My personal favorites included C. S. Lewis, E. M. Bounds, A. W. Tozer, and R. C. Sproul — but I was also pleased to read from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John Bunyan, and Hudson Taylor. This book is a great way to introduce yourself to some of the classic books on prayer as well as their authors.

Each day is paired with Scripture, and the daily pattern of preparation, examination, confession, worship, and request gets you into a good rhythm. The readings are short so you can take your time as you dwell each day in God’s Word. With the outstanding list of contributors, I felt like I was spending time with an old friend each day.

Inspiring and Insightful

A Scripture index as well as a topical index will make this an excellent resource for preachers and teachers. There is also a small paragraph giving a brief biography of each contributor. You will find quotes and illustrations as you prepare your sermons and lessons. More importantly, you will be reminded to pray for your people as well as your own heart as you deal with the Word of God.

Inspiring and insightful, this book will breathe fresh air into your prayer life. You will find a Biblical basis as you journey to the throne room of God. You will be strengthened and encouraged to carry everything to God in prayer.

I received a media copy of Come Boldly and this is my honest review.

Great book about prayer. Some of the people who wrote were from very long ago.

This was the first ever daily devo book I successfully finished. I thought it was very good and made it easy to keep up with. There were a few authors that I had a hard time following
