Meditations and Prayers by John Bradford audiobook.

Genre: religion

Meditations and Prayers by John Bradford gathers the devotional writings of one of the English Reformation's most compelling voices. Written in a plain, urgent style shaped by pastoral care and personal suffering, these meditations lead the listener through confession, repentance, gratitude, and steadfast trust in God's mercy. Bradford speaks as both teacher and fellow pilgrim, addressing the restless conscience, the fear of judgment, and the daily struggle to live faithfully amid uncertainty. The prayers are practical and intimate: petitions for humility, patience, purity of heart, and courage to endure hardship without bitterness. Interwoven throughout is Bradford's deep reliance on Scripture and his conviction that true comfort comes not from self-reliance, but from grace received and returned in worship. Whether approached as a daily companion, a guide for private prayer, or a historical window into persecuted Protestant devotion, this book offers a disciplined rhythm of self-examination and hope. Its central conflict is spiritual rather than external: the battle to surrender pride and anxiety, and to cultivate a life ordered toward God.
