About This Book

A series of devotional addresses examines the nature and practice of prayer, diagnosing common hindrances and outlining habits that lead to prevailing prayer. Drawing on biblical examples and pastoral experience, the speaker emphasizes the twin means of grace—Scripture and prayer—and treats practical themes such as adoration, confession, restitution, thanksgiving, forgiveness, unity, faith, petition, submission, and the reality of answered prayer. The tone is exhortatory and practical, urging repentance, reliance on faith, and scripturally grounded petitions while illustrating how sincere, persevering prayer has produced spiritual renewal and tangible deliverance.

About the Author

Dwight Lyman Moody

Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899) was a prominent American evangelist and publisher known for his influential role in the revivalist movement of the late 19th century. He founded the Moody Church in Chicago and established the Moody Bible Institute, which continues to educate and train Christian leaders today. Moody's works often focus on practical Christian living and biblical teachings, with notable titles such as "Bible Characters" and "Men of the Bible." His engaging anecdotes and illustrations, as seen in "Moody's Anecdotes and Illustrations," have made his sermons accessible and impactful, contributing significantly to evangelical literature.
