In this resource, you’ll find entries from more than 30 historic Christian leaders and works, including Augustine of Hippo, John Calvin, Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley, Richard Baxter, John Newton, and more. Selections from the Bible are also included. Share the prayers with professionally designed slides—one to accompany each prayer.

Key Features

400 Prayers for Preachers:

• Provides material for sermon prep—If you’re preaching on a Scripture or topic, you can search this resource to easily find relevant prayers.
• Makes sharing easy—The slides make it easy to incorporate prayers into your presentation. To export a quotation or prayer into a document, just copy and paste, and the entry appears automatically footnoted with bibliographic information for 300 Quotations for Preachers.
• Saves time and effort—No need to comb through multiple books looking for a prayer. This curated collection is categorized multiple ways, making this resource easier to use than other prayer collections.
• Connects your church with historic prayers—We have updated the archaic language (like “thee” and “thou”) from older sources, making these prayers ready to use in a modern context. The prayers are also abbreviated to a sermon-appropriate length. A link is always provided to the original resource.
