ABOUT THIS BOOK: The 1568 Bishop's Bible Prayer Book will lead you on a liturgically-based, four-week retreat (which you can repeat month by month) praying God's own Holy Word back to him. In using this book, you will never leave the Bible. Set in large, 12 point, Times New Roman, and comprised of scripture alone, and using the 1568 Bishop's Bible translation in the original spellings (including the entire book of Psalms), The 1568 Bishop's Bible Prayer Book combines over 700 selections from scripture of varying length, totaling over 3,000 verses from the Bible. The 66-book Protestant Bible is used, so there are no selections from the Apocryphal books. These beautiful passages are woven into a liturgical framework including an Invitation to Prayer, a Call Upon the Lord, Praise for Our God, Daily Readings (which are printed in the book), Intercessions and Supplications, a Plea for Mercy, and more Praise for our God. Unlike other similar books. The 1568 Bishop's Bible Prayer Book contains no man-made prayers or intercessions, but instead leaves a space for you to pause in prayer for yourself and others. It offers only the suggestion of a single intercession based on the day's readings, which you can use as a starting point for your own prayer or omit. Moreover, the entire session is printed from beginning to end, so you do not need to flip around in the book from one place to another or use additional books in tandem. The 1568 Bishop's Bible Prayer Book will call you out of the world and bring you back to God four times each day with two longer prayer sessions (morning and evening, each about 15 minutes) and two shorter prayer sessions (afternoon and bedtime, each about 8 minutes or less). However, you can choose to do two prayer sessions a day (for an eight-week retreat) or one a day (for a 16-week retreat), depending on your other devotional and Bible study commitments. May the Lord bless you in praying the Scriptures.
