J Barrie Shepherd carries forward the rich Scottish tradition of Christian prayer and devotion in this outstanding book. As a student of John Baillie in Edinburgh, Shepherd absorbed his faith and spirit and carries on Baillie's tradition in the language and spirit of a new generation. The book contains 62 prayers - 30 for morning, 30 for evening, and one for Sunday morning and one for Sunday evening. Each prayer is on a theme - such as gratitude, tolerance, miracles, providence, escape and aging.
