Publisher's Synopsis
The Sailors' Prayer Book is a devotional manual written by James Reid McGavin in 1852. The book is intended for sailors who are at sea, as well as their families who are at home. It contains a collection of prayers, hymns, and religious readings that are meant to provide comfort and spiritual guidance to those who are often far away from home and facing the dangers of the sea. The book includes prayers for specific occasions, such as before setting sail, during a storm, and upon arrival in port. It also includes a variety of religious texts, including psalms, passages from the Bible, and excerpts from other religious writings. The Sailors' Prayer Book is a valuable resource for those who are looking for spiritual guidance and comfort while at sea, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into the religious beliefs and practices of sailors in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
