Excerpt from Communion With God: Extempore Prayer, Its Principles, Preparation, and Practice
That in free-worshipping churches the weakest part of church service is generally public prayer.
That in many theological colleges the attention devoted to training men for the office of public prayer is inadequate.
That, as a result, the prayer-life of the church is affected; for the purpose of prayer, and its power in solving life's problems, are not well understood; and though the church is rich in the volume Of its prayers, it is not so rich in the quality of its praying.
That, inasmuch as liturgical worship tends to formalism, public prayer - like preaching or pleading at the bar - should be the free expres sion of a suitably disciplined advocate.
That present-day tendencies conflicting with prayer, such as prevalent speculation, criticism, and freedom of thought, on the one hand, and a strong drift toward ritualism on the other, make it increasingly necessary to keep right in our vital communion with God.

Excerpt from Communion With God: Extempore Prayer, Its Principles, Preparation, and Practice
Any treatment of the formal principles of prayer, however carefully the author may guard himself, is liable to leave the impression that he is recommending artificial aid to devotion. Nothing, however, could be farther from our purpose. The artificial and formal are fatal to prayer. Above all things we must avoid and abhor unreality in worship.
The object of this manual is not to offer substitutes for the spirituality indispensable to power, but to aid beginners to the knowledge which is also indispensable, and to guard against dangers which must be seen to be avoided. Our endeavor is to provide a brief but complete survey of all the principles involved in prayer, both public and private.
Chapter II was inserted, not because it is a part of our theme, but because it constitutes an instructive background for it.
The term "free" or "extemporaneous," as used herein of public prayer, means not the impromptu utterance of an unprepared person, but rather "conceived" prayer, which has received suitable premeditation as to its purpose, its substance, and its form.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the principles of both public and private prayer.

The author provides historic context and examples from famous religious leaders throughout the text.
