Sacred Meditations


Read by Jonathan Lange

(4.8 stars; 10 reviews)

Meditationes Sacrae, was first published in Latin in 1606 when Gerhard was only twenty-two years old. It consists of 51 brief meditations on various aspects of the Christian life. Nearly four hundred years after its first appearance, it remains the only work published by such a young author that has stood the test of time. Frequently reprinted in Latin, it has also been translated into most European languages as well as Greek and Arabic. While not a large book, it is impactive beyond its size. - Jonathan Lange (7 hr 20 min)

Masterful Spiritual Guide


(5 stars)

I have never enjoyed devotional material so much. Gerhard understands the depth of depravity and meets it fully with the power of the gospel. Give your faith a reality check and learn to depend on Christ's provision for salvation and all things worthy of true value.
