Reviews
John M. Buchanan Those of us who do this work know that the responsibility of praying in a way that gathers up the concerns, joys, hopes, anxieties, and aspirations of a particular worshiping congregation is every bit as important as preparing a sermon. Ernest Campbell has been a model preacher for countless of us over the years. It is an extraordinary gift now to know, through these beautifully and lovingly crafted prayers, the pastor's heart. James A. Forbes Jr. Ernest Campbell's prayers once resounded in the beautiful space of The Riverside Church. It is good to know that, through this publication, his pastoral and prophetic voice can reach far and wide to faithful souls everywhere. These prayers will surely serve as a blessing and as a lesson in how to pray. Neal F. Fisher Poetic imagination, Shakespeare assures us, gives to "airy nothing a local habitation and a name." In this volume, an eminent preacher and teacher of preachers employs pastoral imagination and memorable language to give a local address to God's blessings and a name to those gifts we should seek for others and ourselves. Pointing to the particular, these prayers penetrate to the universal, stirring and sustaining at the depths.
