Quiet Talks on Prayer

By S.D. Gordon

Book Overview

The Quiet Talk series, written in the early 1900s, was a popular succession of books that sold over two million copies. Quiet Talks on Prayer was one of the more popular selections in the series. In the inimitable and admired style that made him famous, S.D. Gordon explores the creative force unleashed in the quiet place of prayer. This is more than a book about prayer; this is a book that will inspire prayer. Gordon leads the weary prayer warrior out of the habitual and stilted patterns of prayer into a realm where prayer comes to life as the Spirit of God activates it. Book jacket.

Awesome book on prayer

I've read a number of books on prayer... many of them good; but this one is far and away the best. The author is scriptural, logical and, in my opinion, easy to understand (one reviewer thought the sentences were too long?). After reading this book, my faith climbed up a notch... make that TWO notches!! Its the kind of book that you buy more copies and give to fellow Christians. As well, while it is at times profound, it still maintains a 'simplicity' that will benefit both a new convert or veteran soldier of the cross. YOU JUST HAVE TO READ IT and you too will be blessed.

Spritual Victory is possible

I have been alive in Christ for 3 years, and S D Gordon is an answer to my prayer asking God for realisation of the victory that Christ gives us. He sent me 8 books by S D Gordon, of which I have read Quiet Talks on the Tempter, and am finishing this book. Together they have revolutionised my prayer life. I am positive in fighting Satan in the lives of saved and unsaved people about me, and especially in my own life. For the first time I am fighting my besetting sin with confidence that Christ who has victory can have that victory in me. Yes, the sentences are longer than in modern books. But he uses plenty of sentence breakers like commas, and the end result is worth it. Christian teaching is divided (as the apostle Paul labels it) into milk and meat. This is definitely meat - rare steak, just as I love it. This book will help you to a new relationship with the Father who is seeking to recover his prodigal world. I will not be letting this series out of my library, and look forwards to reading the others.

Very Good Hands on Book

This was a good book that walks you right through the prayer process. It looks at the basics of prayer, why, how, when and the things that make for more effective prayer. I thought the author was very specifice in his writing. He gave example after example on each subject he covered. Plus he gave very powerful real life examples of the results of praye
