Converted from CCEL. Lutheran in doctrine. My prayers and devotions can benefit from it.
Orthodox Daily Prayers
by Johann Habermann (1516-1590)
This little manual of prayers herewith offered to English speaking Christians in their own language, has long been one of the treasures of the German people. ... It was originally written by one of God?s noblemen, by one who ?lived and moved and had his being? in the things of the Kingdom of God. Dr. John Habermann (known also as Avenarius, Latinized form of Habermann) died 1590 as superintendent at Zeitz, was a famous preacher and a distinguished scholar of his day. He was noted for his profound knowledge of oriental languages especially of the Hebrew. Still it is not this but the fact of his little prayer book that has endeared him to his fellow Christians. And this manual of prayers is the mature product of an inner life rich in the grace of God.
