A Year of Daily Prayers

by Eugene H. Peterson

This devotional guide will take you through a representative sample of the writings of the prophets and provide questions, insights and prayers to enhance your experience of God. Too few people venture into the prophets, God's message through them is perhaps more relevant today than in years past. This guide is a great place to start.
