Philadelphia Henry Altemus
Copyright, 1896, by Henry Altemus.
In this quietly powerful work, the author invites readers to join the timeless dialogue that began when the disciples asked, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Drawing on the Gospel’s portrait of Christ’s own prayer life, he explains how the simple act of speaking to God can become the highest expression of faith when it is rooted in the Spirit. The book unfolds as a gentle schoolroom, where the Master himself is presented as the only teacher capable of opening the deeper channels of divine intercession.
Through thoughtful reflection and practical counsel, the reader learns why many prayers fall short of their intended power and how a renewed dependence on the Holy Spirit can transform them. Emphasizing both the humility of a child’s petition and the glorious reach of God’s promises, the author points the way toward a prayer life that bears fruit for the individual, the church, and the world.
