Synopsis

Jesus said, If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.That, says E. M.

Out of this deep prayer experience, he could say, Without prayer, the Christian life, robbed of its sweetness and beauty, becomes cold and formal, and dead; but in the secret place where God talks with His own, the Christian life grows into such a testimony of Divine power that all men will feel its influence and be touched by the warmth of its loveThat, surely is the purpose of all real prayer and the end of all true service.

The number of books which I can point to and say, “That book largely affected who I am as a Christian today,” are few. But even so, the......more
