From Library Journal:

This is a wonderfully rich and diverse collection of prayers by famous people from various centuries and walks of life, as well as from different Christian affiliations. William Shakespeare, Ludwig van Beethoven, Blaise Pascal, Anne Bradstreet, Malcolm Muggeridge, John Calvin, Soren Kierkegaard, Abraham Lincoln, and Michelangelo are a few of those whose prayers are represented in this anthology, which is organized into six parts: prayers of gratitude and dedication, of confession and penitence, of petition, of intercession, of occasion (e.g., morning and evening, and for the Christian year.) Some prayers are a sentence, others much longer; all may deepen the reader's capacity for and the comprehensiveness of prayer. Essential for seminary libraries; highly recommended for public libraries.
