5.0 out of 5 stars Another wonderful book on how to pray, December 5, 2004

This review is from: How to Pray in the Spirit: Thirty-One Devotional Readings on Personal Prayer (Paperback)

I bought this book along with Prayer Steps to Serenity here at Amazon.com. I read it after the Prayer Steps book. It taught me more about the Holy Spirit and how I could follow the Holy Spirit's leading in prayer. I could definitely see the influence that John Bunyan's teachings had on Prayer Steps to Serenity. I highly recommend this book to those in recovery, though it is not a recovery book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, but powerful, September 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Pray in the Spirit: Thirty-One Devotional Readings on Personal Prayer (Paperback)

John Bunyan's teachings have been powerful throughout the centuries. This simplified version of _On Praying in the Spirit_ offers easy to read chapters covering topics including "The Right Way to Pray" and "Effective Prayer," as well as 29 additional devotionals. The book is designed in such a way so as to spend an entire month reading it, though I found that it was so readable, it took only a few days. It may be overly simplified for the true Bunyan fan, but a good read for someone interested in learning to pray.

While I agree with the doctrine described in this book, I find my intelligence insulted by the "updating for modern readers" performed by the editor. I would suggest that you buy the collected works of Bunyan which is in print and will edify you without insulting your intelligence.
