Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Prayer: An Essay There are two kinds of Prayer, the Prayer of Faith and the Prayer of Form. Men must either pray in earnest, because they expect their prayer to accomplish something, and ask God for what they want just as they would ask any one else, - expecting to get it; and this kind of prayer I call the Prayer of Faith. Or they must pray as a matter of propriety, and from a sense of duty, - because prayer is beautiful, or because prayer is commanded; and this kind of prayer I call the Prayer of Form. Now when people get to praying as a form, - a proper, beautiful, excellent form though it be, - they will soon leave off praying at all. A certain insincerity is felt in such a work. We cannot go on with it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
