This book is an essential companion to "The Plain Man's Book of Prayers".
Both books have proved immensely popular to clergy and laity, and have together sold well over a quarter of a million copies.
In this volume the author has included new prayers for morning and evening, but has also greatly increased the number for special occasions and for individual people.
William Barclay was an author, radio and television presenter, Church of Scotland minister and Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism at the University of Glasgow.
While professor, he decided to dedicate his life to "making the best biblical scholarship available to the average reader". The eventual result was the Daily Study Bible, a set of 17 commentaries on the New Testament, published by Saint Andrew Press, the Church of Scotland's publishing house.
The 17 volumes of the set were all best-sellers and continue to be so to this day. Barclay wrote many other popular books, always drawing on scholarship but written in a highly accessible style.
