Lessons in the School of Prayer as Taught by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself
Overview
A. T. Pierson has collated and compared all the words spoken by Jesus on the subject of prayer, and combined them into a consistent and harmonious whole—a body of doctrine, singularly comprehensive, and symmetrically complete.
Top Highlights
“The hypocrite’s prayer is addressed to a human audience rather than offered to the divine ear.” (Page 48)
“God has appointed two means, and when used jointly they never fail: first a meditative reading of Holy Scripture, and secondly a habitual communion with Him in the closet.” (Page 31)
“Prayer is at bottom the meeting of human suppliant, alone with God, for supplication and communion at the mercy-seat, and revelation of the Existence, Presence and character of God.” (Page 47)
“The closet is simply a close, a closed place, shut in for privacy, shut out from intrusion and interruption” (Page 23)
“There are three great lacks in prayer: The lack of proper words, of proper thoughts and desires, and of a proper spirit and motive.” (Page 86)
