A Prayer Book of Days (£12.99). This beautifully illustrated devotional companion offers prayers for a month from biblical times and across twenty Christian centuries.

It includes prayers from David, the lips of Jesus, some giants of the faith such as Augustine, Francis, Clare and Teresa of Avila, and also lesser known figures who left a legacy of prayer that nourishes us still. We meet each character and gain an understanding of their life and times and the stories that lie behind their prayers.

Here are treasures old and new that will enable us to give voice to our own prayers.
