Such prayer is not learned by following a list of rules or employing a set of forms; rather, it flows from a principle of new life. This reality is wonderfully demonstrated in the present volume, which brings together the insights of three Puritan divines: John Preston, Nathaniel Vincent, and Samuel Lee. Here is an edifying treatment of what it means to draw near to God in prayer.”\u003cbr\u003e—Stephen Yuille, professor of pastoral theology and spiritual formation, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEditor’s Note\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Saint’s Daily Exercise,\u003c\/em\u003e by John Preston\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo the Reader\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSermon One: \u003cem\u003eWhat Prayer Is\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSermon Two: \u003cem\u003ePraying Continually and Impediments\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSermon Three: \u003cem\u003eCases of Conscience\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSermon Four: \u003cem\u003eWhat Makes Prayer Acceptable\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSermon Five: \u003cem\u003eQuestions and Answers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Spirit of Prayer\u003c\/em\u003e by Nathaniel Vincent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoctrine One: \u003cem\u003ePraying Always\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoctrine Two: \u003cem\u003eAll Prayer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoctrine Three: \u003cem\u003eSupplication in the Spirit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoctrine Four: \u003cem\u003eWatch in Prayer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoctrine Five: \u003cem\u003ePersevere in Prayer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoctrine Six: \u003cem\u003eSupplication for All Saints\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eSecret Prayer Successfully Managed\u003c\/em\u003e, by Samuel Lee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLife of the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecret Prayer Successfully Managed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirections, Special and Peculiar to Secret Prayer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to Discover and Discern Answers to Secret Prayer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome Particular Queries\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEjaculatory Prayer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soli Deo Gloria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53009766154551,"sku":"dan1789813870205","price":10.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/8910\/4695\/files\/the-puritans-on-prayer_1.jpg?v=1789813875","url":"https:\/\/effortlesschicclad.shop\/products\/the-puritans-on-prayer","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
