Synopsis

In this inspiring manual of faith, William Scroggie makes a plea for prayer - arguing that all Christians must find time to pray regularly, that their bond with God not be diminished by time and happenstance.

With passion and knowledge, William Scroggie encourages readers to consider the facets of praying. Such is prayer's vitality in the Christian life, that we find in this book a lengthy scrutiny of the types of prayer, and the methods the believer can use to achieve the most from his time at prayer. Prayers of petition, wherein a believer asks that something happen on a personal or worldly level, are distinguished from prayers of thankfulness, or internal discussions with God.

William Scroggie was born in Scotland to a large family. Though he grew up in modest circumstances and with modest education, he displayed a great aptitude for religious matters, and was a voracious student of the Bible. He enrolled into university, and was able to gain entry to the priesthood as a Baptist minister. His staunchly traditional views however were at odds with his contemporaries, and for a time he lived in poverty without a congregation - it was during and soon after this period of hardship that Scroggie's finest works were put to paper.
