The Path of Prayer

Samuel Chadwick was born in 1860 and died in 1932. The front cover of the book describes him as "The Preacher Who Burned His Sermons and Caught the Fire of the Holy Spirit."This book is a surpisingly good primer on prayer. Easy read but very insightful. What was surpising for me is chapter 15 and 16, where he admits that the problem of unanswered prayers, although he insists that God answers prayer, is something not yet fully resolved in his mind; for example,Chadwick relates about one for whom he prayed for healing but they did not remained sick. He had "prayed earnestly and believingly" for a fellow minister at their church "who died while we prayed. The shock to our faith was overwhelming" (p.118). Don't get me wrong. This was not a discouraging book. It was very encouraging and it does inspire to prayer. It was refreshing to read an author writing on prayer to admit - for the first time in a book on prayer that I have read and without any apologies, attempts to skim over it with feeble excuses, or pointing blame - that unanswered prayer occurs and is personally perplexing. Nevertheless, he also affirms, "I do believe in divine healing" and does so "in spite of the fact that I am often ailing".For that humble concession alone, the book is worth the read.

This was a really good book. It helped strengthen my prayer life, it teaches how to pray using scripture and using God's own words; which i was not doing before. I feel like by using God's own words that has strengthened my prayer life and increased my answered prayers, that and of course my faith!

This book gives you why we pray, how to pray, and what results are to be expected. I was dreading the last 2 chapters because they are about praying for healing. My wife is disabled and we have been to every doctor and been prayed for by many godly people. And I know my wife has faith. But still we avoid some churches and types of Christians that can't get that. But when I got to the last chapters of this book I was relieved and encouraged. I have read many books on prayer, but this book is highly recommended.

Samuel Chadwick was only a name I had come across in my journey but was never someone whose words I had read. Well, my bad! The man’s writing is rock solid and touched my heart in fresh ways. Regret is swooshing through my mind as I recall the opportunities I had in the past to read his work. I could have gained this insight and wisdom and strength years ago if I had but obeyed the nudge from God.So in the sense of being obedient to our Lord’s direction, put this on top of your list and read it now.

It's a good short solid book on prayer. We read and studied this book in our church's prayer ministry. "Nothing would turn the nation back to God so surely and so quickly as a church that prayed and prevailed" was a sentence quite prescient this election season. There were many more. An added treat is to also buy the audio version on Audible. I recommend it, especially for any and all prayer warriors.

I learned about Him reading 50 People every Christian Must Know Warren Wiersbe another great book a must read

Great read and came in great shape!

Many people don't like prayer. But, it's because they don't understand it. We all engage in conversations everyday. Prayer is having a conversation with God, the Creator of our Universe. This conversation leads to knowledge of God's Son, Jesus Christ who died for all "Our" sins. The wages of (our) sin is death, but Jesus Paid It All!!! Samuel Chadwick! get to know him, he will show you "The Path of Prayer" you NEED to be on to sustain you for life and into Eternity!!!
