Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts on Prayer Never did men need to offer the disciples' prayer, Lord, increase our faith, with more earnest and passionate sincerity. The average sentiment, or what is familiarly called the spirit of the age, no longer holds to fundamental doctrines with any firm or nervous grasp. The peril is no longer external to the Church. Even there, the Sphere of reason encroaches constantly on that of faith. Men are growing impatient of dogmatic truth. Doctrines must prove their right to be believed, and the progress of destructive criticism threatens to obscure almost every single truth which the Church has held from the beginning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prayer That Teaches to Pray "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven." Far better than all instructions and precepts about prayer is this simple model. Using this, we learn both how to pray and what to pray for. And when we have learned this prayer, it will be time to consider how we shall expand the teaching of our Lord. If it is "after this manner" we are to pray, then who can restrain prayer on the ground of lack of time for devotion? This is the "five words with understanding" preferable to ten thousand of formality or repetition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 Sunday School Prayer Book The Book of Common Prayer contains no provision for worship in the Sunday-school, and the multitude of published liturgies would seem to be sufficient evidence that a prayer book, especially adapted to children, is a universal want in the church. The more the Sunday-school system is perfected, the more will this want be felt. The children practically form a congregation by themselves, with a worship and teach ing of their own. They need, therefore, a prayer-book of their own not by any means as a substitute for the great manual, (any more than attendance at Sunday-school is a substitute for attendance at church, ) but rather as an intro duction to it a sort of primer prayer-book, so closely resem bling it in form and arrangement as to engage their interest and affection, and yet so child-like in character as to be out grown with childhood.

Download or read book The Practice of Prayer Classic Reprint written by G. Campbell Morgan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: G Campbell Morgan wrote the Practice of Prayer not just to recommend prayer, but a full biblical underpinning to a habit of prayer and an acknowledgement of the Christian doctrine of the omniscient and omnipotent God. In his life-long distinguished career of biblical study Morgan was particularly struck by the passage where the disciples beseech Jesus, 'Lord, teach us to pray'. Reverend Morgan was both insistent that the modern church consider the necessity of wholehearted, faithful prayer and the most appropriate way to achieve it. He believed that the answers were furnished to the faithful by God but that the development of faith, the knowledge of how to pray and even more importantly the appropriate attitude for worship were crucial to righteous worship. In this work he explains his concept of the correct method. Morgan examines each element of the trinity thoughtfully and explains in clear and poetic language the role that each element of the trinity plays in enabling the ideal practice of prayer. He identifies a tantalising human emotionality in Christ, the capacity for mercy in God and the inspiration for prayer that he attributes to the Holy Spirit. He refuses bars to prayer and urges those who would receive the full benefit of prayer to eschew activities that would block them from periods of theological reflection in favour of a more reflective approach to faith. As as prominent teacher, theologian and minister Reverend Morgan's arguments about the ideal approach to the practice and theory of prayer reflect his experience and education, as well as an emotional and moving account of spiritual closeness to God that he felt through prayer. For those seeking to expand the meditative element of their worship this book will linger on in the mind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts on Public Prayer Unless I mistake, I have Observed, from time to time, facts in regard to public prayer which satisfied me that there was a call for special counsel on the subject. It has even occurred to me to doubt whe ther the well-known doctrine of our beloved Church, With regard to Liturgies, may not have been so rigidly interpreted, and so unskilfully applied, as to lead to practical misapprehension and mischief in regard to the devotional part Of the service of our sanctuaries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts on the Lord's Prayer The following addresses were given at Oxford in the spring and summer of 1894, and are reprinted with but trifling altera tion. It may seem superfluous to add another to the many existing works on the Lord's Prayer; but a very slight change of point of view often gives such a different aspect of any object that it seems worth while to preserve it; and in the present case some freshness of treat ment has been secured by the light thrown on various petitions of the Lord's Prayer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Getting Things From God: A Study of the Prayer Life This was the petition of disciples who came to Jesus, desiring that He would aid them in this matter. He did not refuse the help they asked. He told them how to pray and He told them what great things even a small bit of faith would accomplish, if they really prayed. When you pray, say: 'our Father.' If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can overturn mountains or pluck up trees by the roots. This is the teaching of our Lord. It is obvious that the force which is to accomplish such results is a world-moving one. It is not a trifling power, but a power that can shake and destroy and build up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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 Faith. 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. Now when people get to praying as a form, - a proper, beautiful, excellent form though it be, - they will soon leave off praying at all. A certain insincerity is felt in such a work. We cannot go on with it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Prayer This is the first of a short series of books on the Great Christian Doctrines. There is, I believe, a widespread and earnest desire on the part of teachers of the Bible to do more than has lately been done for the teaching of Christian doctrine. The complaint that doctrine is dry is due to the way it is taught, even more than to the spirit of the age Anything is dry that is disorderly or unreal. In this volume the Doctrine of Prayer is presented in an orderly sequence, and contact with reality is maintained at every step by means of illustration or example.
