Synopsis

A Scripture Help : Designed To Assist In Reading The Bible, Profitably — Edward Bickersteth. A Treatise On Prayer, by the Rev. Edward Bickersteth, Rector of Watton, Hertfordshire, is a 19th?century Anglican devotional manual that surveys prayer from its nature and duty to its practice in private, family, and public worship. The work unfolds a comprehensive program for daily devotion, arguing that prayer is a natural, reasonable, and indispensable means of grace, and that it should be pursued with heartfelt humility and faith-informed reliance on the Holy Spirit and the mediation of Christ. It covers the ground on which sinners may approach God, the privilege and rewards of prayer, the Spirit’s assistance, and Christ’s intercession, before turning to practical sections on private prayer, forms of prayer, and forms for morning, noon, and evening devotions. It also treats public worship, family worship, and social prayer, offering exhortations, prayers, and concrete guidance for cultivating a constant, spiritual habit of prayer and for enlarging Christ’s kingdom. The book is a devotional resource for Christians seeking a deeper, more disciplined life of prayer and worship.
