RICH IN HERITAGE and eloquent in prose, The Hidden

Life of Prayer is regarded as a classic--a book that opens

the door to the "secret place" of many historical prayer

warriors and helps readers discover the aspects that make for a

special prayer relationship with God.

David M Intyre (1859-1938) points to the crucial components of

a successful prayer life. The need for a quiet place, a quiet hour,

and a quiet heart is combined with an attitude of honesty and

faith to form the foundation for spiritual growth. Believers will

discover the joy of worship, the necessity of confession, and the

power of intercession. And M Intyre directs the reader to the

spiritual transformation that awaits the person who learns to

live in the presence of God.

Careful updating of the language (originally written in the late

1800s) and incorporating its numerous valuable footnotes into

the text make for an inspiring and challenging book for today s

Christian.
