The Power of Prayer

P. T. Forsyth and Dora Greenwell’s The Power of Prayer is divided into three parts. Dora Greenwell penned the first, “Prayer Considered in Its Relation to the Will of Man, and in Its Dependence on the Sacrifice of Christ’s Death,” in which she stresses two points in respect to prayer. First, it is more matter of will and freedom than we mostly think. And second, it is connected more directly and vitally than we realize with the cross of Christ. Forsyth authored the second and third parts, “Prayer as Incessant” and “Prayer as Insistent,” in which he emphasizes the need to pray often and strenuously.
