BY REV. A. C. DIXON, D.D.
This little book was given me by a friend. I glanced through it and laid
it aside, thinking that I would read it at some convenient time, though
I had never heard of the author. But it was forgotten till Christmas,
when I received another copy as a present from another friend. "Well,"
thought I, "there must be something worth while in the little book, or
it would not have been selected as a present by two such intelligent
people." So I read at once the first page till I came to the words: "Man
is God's method. The church is looking for better methods; God is
looking for better men." That was enough to whet the appetite for more,
and I greedily read chapter after chapter with delight and blessing.
When the last sentence was finished I felt that I knew more about prayer
than when I began to read, and, better than that, I felt more like
praying. Every page pulsates with the heart and mind of a man who knows
how to pray; knows the men who have known how to pray, and is very
earnest in desiring that others should know how to pray.
His desire has been realized to some extent, in the case of at least
one, who would like to have others share the blessing with him.
The author has kindly consented to a reprint in Great Britain.
