Treasury of Daily Prayer is a well-timed release into the American religious landscape.

Among Lutherans, 55% say they pray once a day or more, while 23% indicate praying once or a few times each week (U.S. Religious Landscape Survey, http://religions.pewforum.org/comparisons). “Clearly, the importance of prayer as part of the Christian life cannot be overemphasized, and in today’s culture daily prayer among mainline Christians is hovering around 50%” shares Rev. Paul T. McCain, Executive Director for Editorial . Treasury of Daily Prayer can be found online at www.cph.org/prayer.
