Yes! This prayer book is loaded with more Puritan prayers than you'll need in a year. I've been using it during Lent and it has become my constant companion. I wanted to share a review by Tim Challies and encourage you to consider picking up a copy.

Yours in the Lord,

It is a good resource for those not acclimated to reading the Puritans. I read through it last year when the publisher sent me a galley.

I have two quibbles with it. First, they updated the language. Second, they included authors that were clearly not Puritans. That is a particular pet peeve of mine.

Either way, it is still a great resource.

We sell it for cheap.

I'm not as concerned with the updating of the language or the fact that not all prayers are strictly "Puritan."

That is great then. I am glad you are enjoying it.
In my opinion, if it is billed as "Puritan" prayers, it should be confined to the Puritans.
Either way, it is a great resource. I have often recommended it.
 
Is it better than The Valley of Vision? TBH, I am not a huge fan of TVoV. While I disagree with slavishly following the BCP in public worship, its collects easily trump the prayers in TVoV.

I prefer Piercing Heaven to TVoV, other than my critiques above. Honestly, I never got into TVoV as others did. That being said, I would choose the collects in the BCP over both.
