Amish Prayers by Beverly Lewis



Amish Prayers: Heartfelt Expressions of Humility, Gratitude and Devotion by Beverly Lewis is a compilation of prayers that have been used by the Amish for generations. What makes this book unique is that the prayers are translated from German to English, so that it is now available for all to enjoy. The prayers are organized in categories so it is very easy to turn to specific types of prayers, such as Prayers for Strength, Prayers for Praise, or Prayers for Humility. I really enjoyed this book. I used it as an addition to my daily devotional. There were some days that were rather stressful and it was nice to turn to one of the Prayers for Strength and just read and then pray.
