Pastor Wilhelm Loehe was arguably the most influencial Lutheran pastor in Germany in the 19th century. He was responsible for starting an international missionary society that positively affected the religous growth of North America, South America, and Australia. He founded a deaconess society in Neuendettelsau, Germany. But above all, he was a parish pastor at heart. His work on liturgical reform, prayers, and devotional literature are unmatched in impacting the Lutheran church of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Seed-Grains of Prayer divides historic, collect-style prayers according to the liturgical day, week, and season. This reprint of the 1914 translation brings Loehe's liturgical prayers back to English readers in an affordable, readable volume.
