Lifting up Our Hearts: 150 Selected Prayers from John Calvin
Dustin Benge has made a great treasure accessible for all of us. These prayers of Calvin can now be enjoyed and used, and can be of great personal profit. A fresh and fine volume. A book to read and to practice repeatedly. --Herman J. Selderhuis, author of John Calvin: A Pilgrim s LifeDustin 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. --Steven J. Lawson, author of The Expository Genius of John Calvin
