Arthur Wallis sets the pace for a powerful book that goes beyond general principles to show the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the praying believer. In analysing our spiritual and practical difficulties in prayer, Wallis shows how the Holy Spirit helps us in our weaknesses
Reuben Archer Torrey (1856-1928) was at one time early in his Christian life a higher critic. Yet, during a year of study in Germany, he rejected that philosophy, and he later became one of the leading thinkers among the early Fundamentalists. A powerful preacher, Torrey made his mark on world evangelism. Among his other achievements were being the first superintendent of Moody Bible Institute, pastor of the Moody Memorial Church, the Church of the Open Door in Los Angeles, and dean of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (now Biola University). Torrey wrote many books, including The Real Christ
Although the author of The Kneeling Christian wished to remain anonymous, the book itself quickly became one of the best-loved books of prayer throughout the world. A profoundly powerful and spiritual book of the Keswick tradition, it speaks to the heart not only on prayer but in abundant ways about the deeper Christian life. Hugely inspiring, it should lead the reader to a more intimate walk with God, a more powerful and effective prayer life, and to greater fruit in ministry.
E. M. Bounds has a message: We need to pray. Whereas much of the church is focussing on methods and education, Bounds says the answer to the lack of power in Christian service is simply prayer. Bounds identifies the errors that many make which lead to failure, and uses the lives of great men of God as examples to show the absolute necessity of a serious prayer life. This rousing exhortaion should leave a stirring exhortation to pray.
