Synopsis

This is the first book in Gordon's beloved "Quiet Talks" series of works, one that explores the mysteries of spiritual power: What is it? How do we claim it? What does it mean to be a "powerful Christian"? Through friendly, intimate conversation, Gordon explains how to welcome the strength of Jesus into your soul and feel its presence in your heart. Seekers after spiritual succor continue to welcome Gordon's wisdom and embrace his message more than a century after this widely influential work was first published. American lay preacher SAMUEL DICKEY GORDON (1859-1936) was a devotional speaker in high demand throughout the early 1900s, as well as a prolific author of inspirational works. His "Quiet Talks" series includes Quiet Talks on Prayer and Quiet Talks About Jesus.

S D Gordon (1859-1936) wrote more than 25 devotional books, most of which included the phrase "Quiet Talks" in the title. His first book sold more than 500,000 copies over 40 years. Though S D Gordon never achieved any academic degrees, though he was never ordained as a pastor, he was a much in demand, much loved, speaker of the deeper things of God, and traveled extensively sharing profound spiritual truths in simple ways. Born in Philadelphia, he served as the Assistant Secretary of the Philadelphia Young Men's Christian Association from 1884 to 1886. He later became the State Secretary for the YMCA in Ohio from 1886 to 1895. Following this service he spent four years traveling in the Orient and Europe on speaking tours. His first book, Quiet Talks on Power, was published in 1901 by Fleming Revell when he was 42. Three years later he wrote Quiet Talks on Prayer. In 1906 he wrote quiet talk books on service and Jesus.
