The Power of Prayer in a Believer's Life

Ordering one to share with a friend!

This is the best book I have read on prayer. It also puts God in his rightful place. I have given a number of these books to friends. It has helped me in my prayer life to understand more about prayer and even God.

Truly,only C.H. Spurgeon could take a subject that is so dear to us believers in Christ and in his simple and plain way,teach us by the Word of God how to overcome the common hindrances to and in prayer and to persevere in this wonderful privilege that God gives to His children. This book is a small sample of the gifted preacher's sermons on prayer. This is timely for us as Christians to be reminded in these troubling times that we have access to God the Father through Jesus Christ His Beloved Son whenever we want!!

Charles Spurgeon not only preached on prayer but he lived it. Lewis Drummond, in his biography of Spurgeon, commented that Spurgeon was ever in communion it seemed with his Lord. Spurgeon believed 1 Thessalonians 5:17 that Christians are to "pray without ceasing." He believed Mark 11:22-25, that true prayer can move mountains. Charles Spurgeon believed in prayer because he believed in the sovereignty of his God. This short collection of Spurgeon's sermons on prayer will offer you a glimpse into the heart of this man of prayer. Indeed, Spurgeon's church, Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, was a house of prayer. Spurgeon never claimed the growth for himself but to the power of God in prayer. Read this book and get on your face in prayer before a holy and righteous God.

THIS BOOK HAS BROUGHT ME SO FAR FROM MISERY AND PAIN. HOW TOO BELIEVE SOLEY ON THE LORD. HOW TOO PRAY, AND BELIEVE WITHOUT A DOUBT. THE POWER OF PRAYER IS STRONG, FOR ANY SOUL WHO HAS DOWNS AND OUTS. WHO CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT TOGETHER, READ WHOLE HEARTLY, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION, FEEL HIS LOVE AND SPIRIT, BELIEVE, AND SEE THE CHANGE. READ, UNDERSTAND, LITERALY, THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER, IF YOU JUST BELIEVE.

Spurgeon goes straight to the heart of the issue before you even open the book. He explains to the reader in no uncertain terms what God requires of His children and what He is willing to bestow upon them for their obedience. Spurgeon is a timeless writer although at times (most!) he makes for some very intense reading. I have read other solid books on prayer but this is the best.
