Evening Prayers by Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt is a collection of scripture and a prayer for each day of the week for a year. Some of the prayers are for personal use and some are for gatherings of people. Each prayer has before it a scripture for the day. This is a prayer book written by Pastor Blumhardt for his theology students and truthfully not intended for the general public. Some of the students using the book were Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Emil Brunner, Oscar Cullman and Karl Barth. Because some of his students became people of notoriety over the years for one reason or another and because there came more and more persons asking for copies of this little book for their own use it became published. Whether the reader uses this book as a personal nightly Bible study or as a book to be used as a reference source for prayer this book is well worth reading.
I got this book by mistake but like many mistakes it turned into my blessing. I really enjoyed the scriptures and the prayers for my own daily use. I plan to use it for future use also as a reference for groups at the church. This book would enhance anyone's faith walk. I would advice this book for anyone of any age though the book is obviously written at an adult level of reading skill.
I received this book from Plough Publishing House for this review.
