What Others Are Saying

“In my library there is a shelf filled with precious and regularly used reference books. Although the Treasury of Daily Prayer could sit amongst those volumes, instead it occupies a permanent place of prominence upon my desk. Why? A quick scan will show the Treasury of Daily Prayer is more than its simple name implies. Treasury of Daily Prayer is nothing less than a spiritual pacemaker which can bring a steady rhythm to an irregular devotional life.

“Using the loom of the church year, CPH has woven a seamless cloth for prayer. Taking readings from Scripture, texts from hymns and appropriate threads from the Confessions and Church Fathers, they have created a wondrous tapestry leading to prayerful worship.”
–Rev. Kenneth R. Klaus
Speaker, The Lutheran Hour

“Finally, we have something for daily use both in the parish and in the home.”
–Pastor William Cwirla, Hacienda Heights, CA

“Thank you for having made my Christmas shopping . . . far easier this year.”
–Ken from Ballwin, MO

“Daily individual and family devotions are not an alternative to the worship of the church, but a part of it. Treasury of Daily Prayer integrates daily devotional life into the pattern of the church year, and offers the discipline of structured daily offices to carry Sunday’s worship through the week. It would make an ideal confirmation gift, providing a single source of prayers, catechesis, and lectionary to nourish the faith.”
–Pastor Reg Quirk
Chairman, The Evangelical Lutheran Church of England (ELCE)

“I am so impressed and excited about the release of this new material, that I have gone ahead and ordered two copies (one for myself and the other for my wife). I now have to wait until the FedEx truck arrives at my door. . . . Can’t wait to get my hands on it.”
–Kyle Wright, Stafford, VA

“All I can say is: prepare to be blown away! The good folks who have worked on this have produced something that I have never seen in the whole of Lutheran liturgical history: a daily office book and so much more in a SINGLE volume.”
–Pastor William Weedon, Hamel, IL

“I think this will be the single best resource the Church has ever seen for family devotions. I fully expect to use this book everyday with my family.”
–Pastor David Petersen, Fort Wayne, IN

Hey, quite the buzz has been stirred up by your comments Michael. Interesting to track the “viral” spread of the remarks on the Internet. Fun.

Great review. I’ll have to pick one of these up. I am amazed; you reviewed it before I could get my hands on one. I’ll be talking to my CPH rep to see if we can carry them.

Michael, the beer is good, and don’t let your readers be dissuaded by the thick ankles thing- there are plenty of what my Pastor calls “smokin’ hot Lutheran Ortho babes.” Craig and I were each blessed to marry one.(Different ones, I might add)

And everyone knows you do not serve good German beer “cold” but cool, around 45 degrees is about right.

Other than that, Donofrio is correct.

Another great resource that does this is the new translation of Bo Giertz’s devotionals “To Live with Christ.” Also published by CPH.
Warning Bo Giertz is Lutheran %100.

You make it sound like a veritable treasury!

just responding to your lack of enthusiasm for any book called treasury- the first one that came to mind was CH Spurgeon’s “A Treasury of David” – a wonderful commentary on the Psalms.

Michael, Wittenberg – beckons come on home, the beer is cold and the women have thick ankles!

God’s Peace
