Plain Mans Book of Prayers

Rating:
Summary: Talk to Jesus as your close friend. That's prayer.
Review: The introduction is most comprehensive.
Prayer is most natural activity. There is a technique for it.
First observation is that God is more eager to listen to our prayers than we are eager to pray.
There are laws of effective prayer:
First law is: One should be honest with GOD.
Second law is: One should be definite in prayer.
Third law is : Remeber that GOD knows the best for us>
Fourth law is: God will not do for us that which we can do for ourseleves. Prayer is not a escape; One must act to make the prayer true.
Fifth law is : Prayer moves within the natural laws which govern life.
Prayer is not a means of escape; but a means of conquest.

Stages in prayer technique:
1. Invocation
2. Confession
3. Thanksgiving
4. Petition
5. Intercession

Prayer should be done as talking to a close friend;
Prayer should be a constant thing;

Important :
Prayer is not a monologue;
It is a dialogue;
Listen to God.

Finally, he ends the introduction :
It is my own prayer that those who use it finally come not to need its help any more.

He has given prayers & bible readings for sundays, festival days and special occasions.
He gives daywise simple prayers and bible reading suggestion for a month.
The book end with list of index of bible readings for the year.

Good book as a gift.
