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
Widely regarded as one of the greatest Christian pastors, teachers, and evangelists in the English language, Charles Spurgeon lived and preached in London, England until 1892. Now, for the first time in print, many of Pastor Spurgeon's most prayer-inspiring devotionals are gathered together in one place, completely updated in modern, easy English, accessible to a new generation of readers!
He was converted to Christ at the age of 16 and immediately began preaching. He preached in the streets and in the fields before he was 21. In his first church, he began with 100 members. It grew until he was preaching to 10,000 people in the Surrey Music Hall. His church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, seated 6,000 people. He withdrew from every movement among English Baptists which tended to criticize the Authorized Version 1611 in any way.
Before his death, he published more than 2,000 sermons and 49 volumes of commentaries, sayings, anecdotes, illustrations, and devotions.
