Prayer: The Church’s Great Need

Many books have been written on prayer – probably as many as on any aspect of Christian living. So, why should you read this one? Because it will challenge you to higher aspirations in prayer in practical and achievable ways. Some books make prayer far too complex and elevate the practice to nearly unachievable standards that even the most saintly believer could scarcely reach. Others claim that prayer is so simple, one would wonder why any of us find it difficult at all or even need to be taught a thing about it. Just go to God and talk, right? This book falls for neither of these nonsensical approaches. Author Jesse Hamilton writes as a modern-day E. M. Bounds, whose many books on prayer compelled a generation of nineteenth-century Christians around the world to their knees. Any new believer can here learn the basics of how to pray, while even the most aged and mature Christian will find his soul again challenged in these words to seek the face of God with new fervor.
