‘Quiet Talks on Prayer’ is S.D. Gordon's first book, originally published in 1904. The inimitable and admired style made S.D. Gordon famous as he explores the creative force unleashed in the quiet place of prayer. More than a book about prayer, it is a book that will inspire prayer. Gordon leads the weary prayer warrior out of the habitual and forced patterns of prayer into a realm where prayer comes to life as the Spirit of God activates it. It is an insightful book for Christians who wish to be trained in prayer as a spiritual weapon. Gordon shares a wealth of information and wisdom, especially his emphasis on God's will in prayer and his focus on God's Word in prayer, as well as other pertinent scriptural insights.
The book explains the meaning and mission of prayer, hindrances to prayer, the “how to’s” of praying, and Jesus’ habits of prayer. Identifying prayer as the world’s greatest “outlet of power,” Gordon encourages a vibrant, two-way communication with the God who longs for communion with His people. Those who pray will find this a source of comfort and enlightenment even today, a century after it was first published.
