The Saint John Prayerbook: Biblical Meditations and Prayers Inspired by the Beloved Disciple (MP3 Audio Download)

Published by TAN Books

Overview

Enter into prayer with the disciple whom Jesus loved. The Saint John Prayerbook offers a structured and deeply contemplative path into the spiritual world of St. John the Evangelist, whose Gospel has shaped the Church’s understanding of prayer more profoundly than any other New Testament text.

Drawing from the Gospel of John, the Book of Revelation, and centuries of Christian devotion from both East and West, this prayerbook leads readers through thirty Scripture-based meditations. Each reflection pairs a passage from the Gospel with a concise meditation and an original prayer, guiding the reader into a deeper encounter with the Word of God.

A second section gathers thirty traditional hymns and prayers addressed to God and to St. John himself, offering access to a treasury of devotion often unavailable in modern prayerbooks. The result is a balanced and immersive experience that unites Scripture, tradition, and personal prayer.

Whether used as a daily discipline or a focused spiritual retreat, this prayerbook invites readers into contemplative stillness, deeper intimacy with Christ, and a living relationship with the beloved disciple.
