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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prayer-Book: Its History, Language and Contents There is no book, with the exception of the Bible itself, to which English Churchmen are so warmly attached as the Book of Common Prayer, and yet it is to be feared that even among educated Churchmen there is much ignorance of its history, its teaching, its language, and the principles of its construction. This is, surely, a matter for grave consideration. Bearing in mind the large use we make of the prayer-book (a larger use than is made of any corresponding book in any other Church), it. Must be highly important that every member of the Church should, as far as possible, be' in possession of such knowledge as would enable him to fairly comprehend its scope, meaning, and authority.

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.

Download or read book The Meaning of Prayer written by Harry Emerson Fosdick and published by . This book was released on 1915 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When anyone undertakes to study the meaning and to cultivate the habit of prayer, it is well for the person to understand, from the beginning, that he is dealing with a natural function of his life and not with an artificial addition. For instance, raising palm trees in Greenland would be an unnatural proceeding. They never were intended to grow there and never can grow there save under stress of artificial forcing. The culture of prayer would be just as strained a procedure, were it not true that the tendency to pray is native to us, that prayer is indigenous in us, that we do pray, one way or another, even though fitfully and without effect, and that we humans always have prayed and always will pray.
Download or read book The Secret of Prayer written by E. E. Byrum and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Prayer: How and Why We Pray Books in almost countless numbers have been written on the subject of prayer, and yet there are justifiable reasons for adding another to the list. There is an instinctive inclination in people who know God, or know about him, to call upon him for help in times of deep distress or approaching calamity, even though they may not often do so under more favorable circumstances. Those who have yielded themselves to the Lord, and those who are seeking to know his love, have a longing desire to know how to approach him, and how to pray in order to have a knowledge that he hears and will answer. The import of this volume is to meet that demand by enabling the reader to form a more intimate acquaintance with the Lord, and to know better how to enter into a holy and sacred communion with him. By looking back through the annals of time, and noting what others have been able to accomplish through prayer, one is given an inspiration of faith and encouragement, in like manner, to make use of the means within his reach, and appropriate the promises of God so as to derive the proffered benefits.

Download or read book The Lord s Prayer Its Meaning and Message for To Day Classic Reprint written by Charles F. Aked and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lord's Prayer, Its Meaning and Message for to-Day Is there anything new to be said about the Lord's Prayer? And will this busy world condescend to heed? Has it any meaning, any message, for the men and women of our day? All that can be said surely has been said - has been said ten thousand times ten thousand times in every language and in all generations since the Hill Sermon was preached by Jesus Christ. Yet one of the really surprising things in human life is our ignorance of those things about which we suppose we know so much. Let us admit that the meaning and message of the Prayer are old, wonderfully old, and still we may be thankful for the new. We worship a God who, as Tennyson says, "fulfills Himself from day to day," and who, according to the vision of John, sits upon the throne and says, Behold, I make all things new. Yet amongst the oldest things of life are some of the greatest and dearest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Philosophy of Prayer Classic Reprint written by Carl K. Mahoney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Prayer This class of writings, with few excep tions, is singularly lacking in scientific method. The approach to its themes is not the intellectual approach. It is more the poetic method Of drifting into things by way of meditation. It may be contended that the cold-blooded scrutiny of scientific method or the apparently colorless treat ment Of philosophical reasoning is out of place in a consideration of the subject Of prayer. Prayer is a matter of the heart. It lies in the realm Of feeling, Of mysticism, of intuition. But just so long as such an atti tude is taken just so long must the general thought of prayer remain vague and con fused. What is the reason for this assump tion? May not prayer submit to analysis and still retain its mysticism, its emotional content, its intuitional aspect, if these can be shown to be in accord with reality? Our devotional attitude will lose nothing in fervency or In smcerity by clarifying the meaning of prayer. Anything that can throw light on matters of spiritual life is of service to religion. Anything that will help us to a better understanding of what we are doing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The History of the Book of Common Prayer Classic Reprint written by Leighton Pullan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Book of Common Prayer This volume is intended to illustrate the history and meaning of the Book of Common Prayer, and more especially of those services which are in most frequent use or have been the subjects of theological discussion. The author has sometimes ventured to repeat his state ments in different chapters, in order to make each chapter as intelligible and complete as its necessary limits will permit. The phrase common prayers was used in the middle of the sixteenth century to signify what we call public worship.' It was used not only by the reform ing party in the Church, but also by their opponents, and it is therefore an error to suppose that the adop tion of the name was intended to mark a difference between the reformed and the unreformed worship of the Church in England.

Download or read book The Psychology of Prayer Classic Reprint written by Anna Louise Strong and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Prayer Religion, whatever else it may signify, belongs to the social aspects of our experience. It is relation to some other. It matters not that the other is not seen. The man of faith lives as seeing him who is invisible. He finds terms for this other in lan guage borrowed largely from human society. God is Father, Lord, King, Redeemer, Friend, the Great Companion. As implying social relation religion belongs therefore with other parts of life which in volve this adjustment to others, this union with others, to produce and become what would be impos sible for any one by himself alone. Whatever we may think of religious experience, it takes its place in human life and human history along with science, morality, and art, as a sphere in which man has developed a personality, a self, of peculiar range and quality. These aspects of human life as being in them selves most significant have repeatedly invited at tention. The eighteenth century made brilliant in vestigations in this field. The nineteenth century turned its interest largely to chemical and biological problems, and we reap the results in our industries, and in our control over disease. In its closing dec ades, a measure of scientific activity was directed upon the mental life, attacking at first chiefly the simple problems which could be studied in labora tories. But now with some of these more elementary problems on the way toward solution, interest is naturally turning again to what is after all of deep est interest - the world of personal relations. We have as yet scarcely made a beginning in applying to the more complex and more vitally important fields of life the scientific spirit and method which have disclosed new meaning and value in the world of nature. We are seeking to understand more fully what mind and Spirit mean in those capacities and activities due to social forces.

God was the great Friend, and men spoke to Him as readily and as naturally as they spoke to their earthly friends. He could listen like an earthly friend; He could answer, too, and help, as no human friend could do, just because He was God and not man. There is something very beautiful and touching about the speech of men to God. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Meaning of Service Classic Reprint written by Harry Emerson Fosdick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Meaning of Service This little book completes a trilogy which it has long been my hope to write. The Meaning of Prayer is a study in the Christian's inward experience of fellowship with God; The Meaning of Faith is a study in the reasonable ideas on which the Christian life is based; and now The Meaning Of Service is a study in the practical overflow of the Chris tian life in useful ministry. This last book has been written at a time when its theme is most congenial with the crucial need of the world and the dominant mood of thoughtful folk. The overturn of human society in the Great War has inevitably brought to the top those elements of Christian life and thought which center about service. The task to be accomplished on earth is so immense, the cheap optimisms which once contented us are so impossible, the enemies against whom the Christian pro gram must win its way are so formidable, and the need of un selfishness, public-mindedness, and sacrificial love is so urgent, that anyone who thinks at all about humanity's condition must think about service, its meaning, motives, and aims. I have not tried to keep these immediate and pressing conditions of our time from showing themselves in this book. One can write more timelessly about prayer and faith than he can about service. Yet I trust that I have not altogether lost the accent of those universal Christian truths and principles which make service, in any age, the indispensable expression of discipleship to the Master. To many books and many friends, beyond the possibility of individual acknowledgment, I am indebted for the inspira tion Of these studies. In particular I am once more under heavy Obligation to my friend and colleague, Professor George Albert Coe, ph.d., for his careful reading of the manuscript, and to my publishers for their unfailing kindness and painstaking care in preparing it for the press.
