The Essential Ingredient of the Christian Experience

This Christian classic, written by an unknown Christian sometime before 1930, is a passionate call to a life of prayer. Knowing that the subject of prayer is a mysterious and foreign concept to many Christians, the author addresses many of the perplexing issues of prayer, such as:
What is prayer?
How does one pray?
Must we "agonize in prayer"?
How does God answer prayer?
What hinders our prayer?
Who may pray?
With many inspiring examples of prayerful preachers and missionaries, the author leaves no doubt that all spiritual growth--all victory, confidence, peace, and communion with God-comes only through the practice of fervent, heartfelt prayer.

And we may approach His glory with boldness. Did not our Lord pray that His disciples might behold His glory? (John xvii. 24). Why? And why is "the whole earth full of His glory"? The telescope reveals His infinite glory. The microscope reveals His uttermost glory. Even the unaided eye sees surpassing glory in landscape, sunshine, sea and sky. What does it all mean? These things are but a partial revelation of God's glory.

Since its first publication, The Kneeling Christian has helped hundreds of thousands of believers discover the key to God s treasure house of blessing. This classic book on prayer, written by 'An Unknown Author' sometime before the 1930 s, answers the most basic and often-asked questions Christians have about prayer: 'How shall I pray?' 'What is prayer?' 'Must I agonize?' 'Does God always answer prayer?' 'Who may pray?' Prayer, though an essential part of Christian experience, remains mysterious to many believers. The author set about to familiarize Christians with the source of power available to them through prayer. According to The Kneeling Christian, 'All real growth in the spiritual life--all victory over temptation, all confidence and peace in the presence of difficulties and dangers, all repose of spirit in times of great disappointment or loss, all habitual communion with God--depends on the practice of secret prayer.' This powerful, time-tested book points the way toward communion with God and all the life-changing benefits that derive from it."
