Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prayer as a Theory and a Fact Two gentlemen were strolling leisurely by a lighted chapel into which people were passing, evidently for their weekly prayer-service. Nod ding toward the Open door, one of them said to the other DO you believe in this matter of prayer? Yes, was the somewhat reluctant answer, I suppose I do, in a certain way. I think it a good thing for those who really believe in it. But, he continued, Whether there is any one at the other end Of the line who does act ually listen and respond, is a thing about Which I am not certain. It seems to me, replied the first speaker, that your position is that of a man Who believes in the prayer but not in the answer. It will be the contention of this volume that all true prayer is answered. It will be claimed that this exercise of prayer involves the personal existence Of two beings, God and man - one of whom ohci's petition, confession, worship, and thanksgiving, and the other of whom answers the petition in affirmation or in denial, receives the worship, listens to the confession, and accepts the thanksgiving.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prayer and Its Remarkable Answers: Being a Statement of Facts in the Light of Reason and Revelation And is there room for another book on Prayer, after the treatises upon this fruitful theme, from the time of the Christian Fathers to the present day 2 In answering this inquiry, one must remember, that each age of the world must have its own literature. There must then be books to meet present phases of religious experience, even if the truths discussed made part of the most ancient faith. Prayer has had its interest, as a doctrine and as a practice, in all the centuries, and it is still the strength of the believer, and the scofi' of the infidel. An attempt is made in this volume to give, in a popular form, the facts and the philosophy of the subject. It is written for the people yet it assumes that they are neither chil dren nor fools, and will welcome an intelligent discussion of a fundamental question. The first seven chapters aim, therefore, to elucidate the nature, characteristics, methods and conditions of Prayer to show its true place in the system of the universe and to answer the specious objections of the sceptics. The argument is designed to be thorough, without being dry and abstruse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prayer, What It Is and What It Does 1lished Church is calling for a revised prayer-book which will represent the esthetic and sociological aspirations as well as the newer religious insights of 'the age. Throughout English speaking Christendom, in churches of the liturgical type, there are gather ings for informal prayer, as a supple ment to the regular services, and among church-going people there is a demand for books of prayers which may help those to whom the art of self-expression does not come easily. But still more striking and still more significant is the fact that thousands who are out of sympathy with the churches are feeling the influence of the revived belief in prayer.

Being an Exhaustive Treatise of the Nature, Conditions and Difficulties of Prayer There has always been a tendency on the part of some to look upon prayer as a sort of spiritual gymnastic, its sole pur pose being idealistic. To pray, they tell us, is to become like the One whom we contemplate in the exercise. This idea of prayer is not without its sanction. Even noted physicians like Dr. Hyslop tell us that the effect of prayer on the mind is more beneficial than any other therapeutic agent known. But these pages are writ ten to show that the whole truth is far from being found in any such theory of prayer, and to put the emphasis where it rightly belongs.

Download or read book The Meaning of Prayer Classic Reprint written by Harry Emerson Fosdick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is prayer and what does it mean to pray? This is the question that Harry Emerson Fosdick addresses and answers through The Meaning of Prayer. Although published in 1915, this compilation of readings and short prayers still remains relevant to modern spiritual warriors and retreatants as the discussions presented are considered age-old truths upon which Christianity is based. This edition contains 10 chapters, each having daily readings that span a week. As such, this is an ideal guide for those desiring to go on a lengthy retreat, as well as those seeking something that will help them pray daily. Even though the readings are good for 10 weeks, one can stretch out a chapter to encompass a few weeks to a month in order to better "digest" and work on the points for reflection offered by the author. Each chapter opens with 7 readings, followed by the author's comment of the week. The "comment" is a misnomer as the passage is actually a few pages long. It ends with a set of "suggestions for thought and discussion." What's notable about this compilation is that, aside from Biblical quotes, the author supplies excerpts of poems and other types of inspirational literary works that are still relevant and related to the topic at hand. Those who are novices in prayer, as well as those who have been doing it for years, will find this book very helpful and a blessing indeed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Prayer: An Essay There are two kinds of Prayer, the Prayer of Faith and the Prayer of Form. Men must either pray in earnest, because they expect their prayer to accomplish something, and ask God for what they want just as they would ask any one else, - expecting to get it; and this kind of prayer I call the Prayer of F aith. Or they must pray as a matter of propriety, and from a sense of duty, - because prayer is beautiful, or because prayer is commanded and this kind of prayer I call the Prayer of Form.

Download or read book The Making of an Ordinary Saint written by Richard Foster and published by Monarch Books. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nathan Foster has lived with the spiritual disciplines all his life, but has had to find his own unique path. As he sought - sometimes rebelliously - to develop habits that would enable him to live more like Jesus, he encountered problems both personal and universal. Gradually he discovered creative new ways to practice disciplines such as fasting, meditation and simplicity, to live as Jesus lived. With a foreword from Nathan's father Richard, who provides a fresh introduction to each of the disciplines, The Making of an Ordinary Saint invites us to be formed into the likeness of Christ's character.
Download or read book What Did Jesus Really Teach About Prayer Classic Reprint written by Edward Leigh Pell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Did Jesus Really Teach About Prayer? Somewhere in these pages I have said that when the average Christian mother takes up the task of teaching her children the elements of religion, she does not undertake to find out what Jesus taught: she only recalls what she was taught in her own childhood and teaches that. That was what her mother did before her, and her mother's mother, and so on all the way back to her heathen forebears. As a consequence the religious faith which most of us acquire in our childhood, instead of being the Christian faith, is a patchwork in which the teachings of Jesus are often lost in a maze of misinterpretations of His teachings, and pagan ideas which we inherited from our far-away ancestors. In the simple days of our fathers these early misteachings did little harm, for the reason that the average man went through life without coming into a light that would put them to the test. But to-day it is different. To-day our boys and girls are hardly out of sight of home before the fierce light of modern intelligence begins to beat down pitilessly upon all the precious faiths and fables of their childhood, and they soon discover that their religious faith will not bear inspection.
