Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Men Pray Again all men have their moments of telling the Unseen their exultation, their joy. Returning health after illness and weakness gives a man this sense of general thankfulness; so also a bright day after rainy weather, the coming of spring with its warmth and greenness, or a radiantly beautiful scene, will start a man to singing to something or some one not himself. Voltaire, seeing one day the morning sun, impulsively exclaimed, Dieu le Pere, je t' adore and then, looking about, cautiously added a modifying sentence lest his in voluntary exclamation be interpreted as a sign of faith. Walt Whitman was also subconsciously praying when he Spoke of caressing life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “A smart, wise, often side-splittingly funny master class in seeking God. Any spiritual seeker—from atheist to professional religious—will cherish this bravura tome from one of our great spiritual guides, in the lineage of C. S. Lewis, Henri Nouwen, Thomas Merton, Gandhi, and Mother Teresa. Hallelujah & amen!”—Mary Karr, author of Lit and The Liar’s Club One of America’s most beloved spiritual leaders and the New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Jesus: A Pilgrimage teaches anyone to converse with God in this comprehensive guide to prayer. In The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, Father James Martin included a chapter on communicating with God. Now, he expands those thoughts in this profound and practical handbook. Learning to Pray explains what prayer is, what to expect from praying, how to do it, and how it can transform us when we make it a regular practice in our lives. A trusted guide walking beside us as we navigate our unique spiritual paths, Martin lays out the different styles and traditions of prayer throughout Christian history and invites us to experiment and discover which works best to feed our soul and build intimacy with our Creator. Father Martin makes clear there is not one secret formula for praying. But like any relationship, each person can discover the best style for building an intimate relationship with God, regardless of religion or denomination. Prayer, he teaches us, is open and accessible to anyone willing to open their heart.

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 Place of Prayer in the Christian Religion Classic Reprint written by James M. Campbell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Place of Prayer in the Christian Religion The instinct to pray is ineradicable. Men every where pray. They pray before they are taught. They pray because they must. They can no more help praying than they can help breathing. They often pray blindly and uncertainly, but they keep on praying. The way in which they pray indicates the measure of their religious development. In deed, a history of prayer would be a history of the religious life of mankind. In Christianity prayer has reached its highest water mark. The amazed onlookers who said Of the earlier followers Of Jesus, Behold how these Christians love, might with equal propriety have said, Behold how these Christians pray. NO other worshipers ever prayed after such a fashion. They may have prayed as earnestly, but not as understandingly; they may have gained as great a nearness to God in prayer, but not as comforting a Vision of his presence; they may have taken as firm a grip Upon God, but could not have possessed as Clear a sense Of the ground of their Overcoming faith. To Christian prayer belongs something of the fullness, the largeness, and the richness which belong to the Christian life Of which it is a part.

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.
