The Meaning of Prayer CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2011 M10 26 - 190 pages Among many recent writings on prayer, possibly none does more to show its reasonableness than this. It will answer the unanswered questions of many an honest doubter. The daily arrangement of the material will serve to make this course of studies a valuable school of prayer. This suggests one of the principal merits of Pastor Fosdick's treatment of the subject: it shows clear recognition of the simple and central fact that prayer is something, the reality and power of which can be verified only by praying. Ten weekly lessons cover the naturalness of prayer; prayer as communion with God; God's care for the individual; prayer and the goodness of God; hindrances and difficulties; prayer and the teign of law; unanswered prayer; prayer as dominant desire; prayer as a battlefield; and unselfishness in prayer. |
