The contents of this book are the experiences of a Christian, for sure, whose faith in God was tried. The examples are clear, the results of real. Anyone who desires to hear from God and receive "the desires of their heart" should carefully read this book. Of all my books, this one will never be loaned out, for it has many years of practical wisdom pertaining to "touching the hem of His garment". If you need a miracle in your life; If your prayer life needs a boost; If you need to know that God hears all your prayers, and is answering them; If you're a minister; If you're wandering aimlessly through life and need direction, then READ THIS BOOK. Andrew Murray wrote it 165 years ago, but it as relevant today as it was then, for the need to learn more about prayer is a timeless desire from all ages. In the back of this book, there is a section titled "George Mueller, and the Secret of His Power in Prayer." Read this book and your prayer life will never be idle again! Read this book and you'll never lack again to know God's will! Read this book and see God's mighty hand work in your life!
I bought this book while a sophmore in Bible college and it changed by life. I have read many books on prayer from Samuel Chadwick, Leonard Ravenhill, A.W. Tozer, Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley, and many others but Andrew Murray's books remain near the top. This book should be a required reading text for every disciple of Christ.Murray's chapters are short, concise, and he fills your heart with a hunger for God's presence. While his writing style may be dated and his language archaic at times, Murray's passion for prayer shines through. He truly takes you to the school of prayer and leads you before the throne of Almight God.If you love to pray, struggle with prayer, or want to learn the secrets of the saints of old who spread God's truth without technology but their voices and their Bibles then read Andrew Murray's classic works on prayer.
Do not choose this edition! I am very familiar with this title, and have passed it on to many. Now, looking for an inexpensive copy for a group, I chose this publication of the title. Murray is from the late 19th C, as is his language, so although it is a bit more of a struggle for today's reader's, his concepts are clearly presented. However, this version has not been edited! Entire sentences are missing, there are commas where none belong, and many absent where there should be. This makes Murray's ideas even more difficult to understand. I instead chose the title from another publisher and paid a few more dollars. The other publication, by Whitaker House, ISBN 9780883681060, is by far superior to this very poor edition.
I can honestly say that this book was used by the Holy Spirit to powerfuly afect my prayer life. It turned praryer time into a tender and powerful time. I do not think that this book will have the same impact on everyone, but if you like old authors like I do then please read this book. It is written by a man that spent much time in the closet and out of the closet with the Lord.
This book was written many years ago and yet its message is still as valid and beautiful as it was long ago. Jesus' teachings on prayer are closely examined and the life of a praying man or woman is shown for the powerful thing it really is! I'm 29 years old and have loved this book since age 14!
I purchased the paperback ed. 1981, 238 pages. This is an exceptional book. Each of the 31 chapters breaks down what prayer is and why we are to pray and then a well thought out prayer is offered, which I might add spoke to what I was thinking in each chapter. It is not a book to read about prayer, but, to be studied. I took a chapter a day, read it and pondered it throughout the day. The author breaks down prayer, its parts and explains through scripture why these parts are important. Chapters 20 and 21 brought everything together for me emphasising why our prayers have not been answered in the past and how to make changes for effective prayers. This is a must for anyone wishing to strengthen their prayer life and consequently their faith.
This book leads the reader through the progressive teaching of Jesus on prayer, one step at a time, showing conclusively that prayer is a wondrous eternal relationship first and foremost within the three-in-one interaction of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Depending entirely on the word in scripture and Holy Spirit teaching for edification, Andrew Murray identifies the purpose and essential element of answered prayer: giving Glory to God. He furthermore leads the reader meticulously through the teachings of Jesus to reveal the heart condition required for power in prayer, as well as how a believer can walk in agreement with the One who is faithful to achieve that condition in a child of faith. The teaching is both sublime and fundamentally practical. This book is for anyone who desires to be an authentic disciple of Jesus Christ following in the steps of the Master Teacher; for anyone who longs to do the "greater things" that Jesus proclaimed would be the fruit and works of a true believer; for any heart that cries for true intimacy not only with the Beloved, but with the Body of Christ.
