Endorsements:

"These superb prayers model and teach a rich, deep devotion to God- Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Soaked in Scripture, they are wonderfully realistic about the life of faith. From a prayer for unbelieving children to a prayer with a dying Christian, with every style from the gripping logic of John Owen to the passionate warmth of Samuel Rutherford, these old believers walk with us in deepening our own lives of prayer. Tim Chester has done us a great service in editing and updating them so beautifully and clearly."
--CHRISTOPHER ASH Writer in Residence, Tyndale House

"These pages are a great gift from Dr Tim Chester to help us 'to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever' and to experience the love of Christ, as Paul says, 'together with all the saints'. There is something in Into His Presence to help all of us to experience communion with God in every situation of life. Tim Chester has given us a treasure trove."
--SINCLAIR B. FERGUSON Chancellor's Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary

"The Puritans knew their God, not just in their brains, but in the bruises of life's afflictions, and they sought him with all their hearts. Tim Chester brings us into the Puritans' prayer closet to learn from their devotion. Some of these selections are Puritan prayers, some are the thoughts and phrases of Puritan teachings freshly woven into prayers, and all are fervent pantings of the soul after the glorious, triune God."
--JOEL R. BEEKE President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
