For people in crisis and for their caregivers, William Barclay has written these simple, practical, and comforting prayers. Barclay's understanding of our predicaments is matched by his certainty that God will help us - even in the valley of the shadow of death.
Included are prayers for
Sickness, pain, and anxiety
Every aspect of hospital life, and the hospital staff
Morning and evening for fourteen days of illness
Holidays, when people may feel most desolate
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.
