“Ever since Catherine Marshall wrote her famous biography, A Man Called Peter, people have been requesting that she edit a collection of Peter Marshall’s prayers.  Here is that collection comprising all the prayers of Peeter Marshall that have been preserved.
It contains 276 prayers in all.  Of these, 84 are the pastoral prayers that Peter Marshall delivered before his congregations in Covington and Atlanta, Georgia, and in Washington, D.C.  The remaining 192 are the prayers he delivered before the Senate of the United States while he was chaplain from 1947 to 1949.  Through each of them shines the great wisdom, warmth and humanity of the man.”
