    About this ebook

    Everybody wants to pray with power—but how? Find out in the classic volume Quiet Talks on Prayer, now available in a deluxe leather-like binding. This early twentieth-century guide by S. D. Gordon, abridged and updated for today’s reader, explains the meaning and mission of prayer, hindrances to prayer, the “how to’s” of praying, and Jesus’ habits of prayer. Identifying prayer as the world’s greatest “outlet of power,” Gordon encourages a vibrant, two-way communication with the God who longs for communion with His people.

      Loved this book, the Author spoke of things only the Holy Spirit could give. After reading this book I can only add I do not pray as I ought not do I know how to pray as I ought!
    • 5/5
      S.D. Gordon in his Quiet Talks on Prayer makes very clear to us that we are engaged in a gigantic spiritual battle here on earth which can only be won through prayer. "Prayer is man giving God a footing on the contested territory of this earth. The man in full touch of purpose with God praying, insistently praying--that man is God's footing on the enemy's soil. The man wholly given over to God gives Him a new sub-headquarters on the battlefield from which to work out. And the Holy Spirit within that man, on the new spot, will insist on the enemy's retreat in Jesus the Victor's name. That is prayer." Thus, S.D. Gordon, writing in 1904, gives us a timeless review of what he has learned during his lifetime of talking and listening to God.
