Book Description
Private prayer - how can a Christian live without it? This may be a question very easy to answer to. How about this one: What can a Christian obtain by his prayers? Or, maybe, what can a Christian obtain by his private prayers when that Christian believes in a sovereign God, in a sovereign application of the providence of God? Puritan Thomas Brooks defines what private or closet prayer is, identifies its boundaries, and provides biblical answers to a mountain of questions and objections to private prayer and how a Christian can use it as a key to open the heaven, to obtain the answer from God. Private Prayer is not just another book on prayer, it has all the ingredients to rekindle your devotional life: sound doctrinal foundations, devotional warmth, Christ-centered content, and even Evangelistic thrust. This book has been originally published in 1665. Current edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and slightly updated for modern readers. About the author: Thomas Brooks (1608-1680) was an English non-conformist Puritan preacher and author. He wrote extensively and with a keen eye on devotional Christian life. Brooks died after over 40 years of Gospel ministry, in 1680.

'Carefully edited, this beautiful little volume is a rare gem . . . highly recommended for anyone seeking new inspiration in prayer.' - The Reader Between 1924 and 1938, Evelyn Underhill compiled two personal prayer books for use when conducting spiritual retreats at Pleshey (the retreat house for the diocese of Chelmsford). The prayers were carefully selected and include quotes from a variety of theologians and writers in Christian spirituality, as well as her own very rich, metaphorical and theologically deep prayers. These collections are now available for the first time.
