A Call to Prayer by J.C. Ryle

5.0

We don’t need our Bibles to be saved, but we do need prayer. Lack of prayer is a firm sign of an unsaved person. It is not until your heart is broken by the weight of you sins and the heavy burden of your hand in the murder of Jesus that prayer is even possible. So, do you pray?

Prayer’s power is in allowing us divine communion with the divine God. Weak and poor are our prayers as they leave our lips, but in the presence of our High Priest and Brother they become a powerful balm! They become able to depose mountains and calm storms. They become able to break and mend hearts. They become able to give peace in prison, contentment in poverty, and comfort amidst bereavement. So, do you pray?

J. C. Ryle's little treatise on prayer is full of hard words for our soft hearts. It's meant to expose us to the reality of our deep need to commune with God in prayer. J. C. Ryle packs these hard hitting truths into a desperately short book, filled with powerful, concise, and pithy sentences. Prepare to read and reread this book. You'll be moved to action by this gentle, powerful call to prayer.

This book is amazing, inspiring, and available for free online. Check it out here!
