Prayer and Its Remarkable Answers: Being a Statement of Facts in the Light of Reason and Revelation - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
A nb is there room for another book on Prayer, after the treatises iipoa this fruitful theme, from the time of the Christian Fatliers to the present day? In answering this inquiry, one must rcmemher, that each age of tlie world must have its own literature. There must then be books to meet present phases of religious experience, even if the truths discussed made part of the most ancient faith. Prayer has had its interest, as a doctrine and as a practice, in all the centuries, and it is still the strength of tlie believer, and tlio scoff of the infidel. An attempt is made in this volume to give, in a popular form, the facts and the philosophy of the sabject. It is written for the people ;yet it assumes that they are neither children nor fools, and will welcome an intelligent discussion of a fundamental question. The first seven chapters aim, therefore, to elucidate the nature, characteristics, methods and conditions of Prayer; to show its true place in tiie sysfem of the universe, and to answer the specious oDJ eoiions of the skeptics. The argument is designed to be thorough, without being dry and abstruse But the chief aim of the book is to furnish authentic facia, so grouped and explained, in the light of the principles set forth in the early chapters, as to dispel doubt, and encourage a rational and Scriptural faith. The answers to prayer have been drawn fiom a wide region of investigation.
