"The fact that one of the great devotional classics has, in the recent past, been largely unavailable has been an occasion for sorrow. Lancelot Andrewes and His Private Devotions has meant so much to me that I have desired to share this written word with as many as possible. That Bishop Andrewes was a spiritual giant, there is no doubt, and that his deepest insights were put into writing is a blessing of the highest order. Ever since, years ago, I was introduced to Andrewes by the words of T. S. Eliot*, this classic volume has been a treasured part of my own library."
