"This little manual offers the English-speaking Christians one of the treasures of prayer, and was written by one of God's noblemen, who 'lived and moved and had his being in the things of the Kingdom of God.' He was a famous preacher and a distinguished scholar. Profound as was his knowledge, it is his little prayer book that has endeared him to his fellow Christians. This little manual of devotion is a valuable contribution to the devotional literature of our Church. Many pastors will welcome this little manual." -Luther League Review, Volumes 31-32, 1917

"The labor of clothing these little gems of prayer into the language of the land has been done as a labor of love, albeit the stress of other work often precluded the continued effort. The work was done a bit at a time. This little volume is herewith issued with the fervent hope and prayer, that it may long continue on its course of blessing, and lead many lives into the closer communion with God, through Jesus Christ. Soli Deo Gloria!" -Emil H. Rausch
