So many of us learned about prayer as children, but years later, are we even really praying at all? True prayer is never lukewarm, ritualistic, flippant, or fatalistic. What we're talking about here is earnest, fervent, heartfelt, intense, deep, groaning prayer-prayer that "wrestles" with God, that seeks after His blessing, and does not give up until an answer is given. Does this describe your prayers and the meditations of your heart? Or do you struggle with cold emotions, drifting thoughts, and not knowing what to say to God?
For a fresh perspective on prayer and meditation, we simply know of no one better at explaining things than Charles Spurgeon. In these 40 easy readings, Pastor Spurgeon will help you to:
-Faithfully seek after God's blessing through deep, powerful, "wrestling" prayers
-Effectively call out to God in times of sickness, desperation, and need
-Persevere and persist when God seems to delay in answering your prayers
-Gain a greater understanding of God's Word through thoughtful meditation

C.H. Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
Spurgeon quickly became known as one of the most influential preachers of his time. Well known for his biblical powerful expositions of scripture and oratory ability. In modern evangelical circles he is stated to be the "Prince of Preachers." He pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle in downtown London, England.His church was part of a particular baptist church movement and they defended and preached Christ and Him crucified and the purity of the Gospel message. Spurgeon never gave altar calls but always extended the invitation to come to Christ. He was a faithful minister in his time that glorified God and brought many to the living Christ.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill).
The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000 - all in the days before electronic amplification.
In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the new Metropolitan Tabernacle.
