Book Description

April 11, 1986
Since its first publication, The Kneeling Christian has helped hundreds of thousands of believers discover the key to God's treasure house of blessing. This classic book on prayer, written by 'An Unknown Author' sometime before the 1930's, answers the most basic and often-asked questions Christians have about prayer: 'How shall I pray?' 'What is prayer?' 'Must I agonize?' 'Does God always answer prayer?' 'Who may pray?' Prayer, though an essential part of Christian experience, remains mysterious to many believers. The author set about to familiarize Christians with the source of power available to them through prayer. According to The Kneeling Christian, 'All real growth in the spiritual life--all victory over temptation, all confidence and peace in the presence of difficulties and dangers, all repose of spirit in times of great disappointment or loss, all habitual communion with God--depends on the practice of secret prayer.' This powerful, time-tested book points the way toward communion with God and all the life-changing benefits that derive from it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most influencial book on Prayer I've ever read, May 10, 2002
By 
Gary Osborne (Spring Hill, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Kneeling Christian (Paperback)
My title says it all. This small book is big on the theology of prayer. But it isn't written in a text book manner. Instead, this "unknown Christian" simply goes to the Scripture and points out to the reader how important prayer is to the life of a believer. The first chapter alone gets your attention. In it the author states that a person's greatest regret, once in heaven, will be to look back and wonder why he or she didn't pray more. When a person realizes how much can be gained by praying, it should astound us that we don't do it more.

This is one of the few books I own that is such a classic that I read it every year. It never grows old, because its message is truly timeless. I highly recommend it to new and older Christians of every persuasion!

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must read" for Christians desiring a powerful prayer life, December 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Kneeling Christian (Paperback)
An Unknown Christian expresses eloquently the reasons God calls us to prayer; what prayer is; the awesome power of God and His right to receive all honor and respect from His children; hindrances to prayer, and God's incredible promises to those who pray with a pure, unselfish motive for the sake of His Kingdom. This book has been an exceptional encouragement to me, and any Christian who reads it, I believe, will be taught more about effective, fervent prayer that touches the heart of God. The author addresses real issues which we all must grapple with and settle in our own hearts if we are to pursue a deeper life of prayer.
