Purchase options and add-ons

Private or secret prayer is the life–blood of the Christian. The great men and women of God down through the ages have testified to the effectiveness of this in their lives. Some like Martin Luther, have said that they could not survive a busy day without spending 2–3 hours alone with God. Drawing on the experiences of people like Luther, Spurgeon, Muller, Whitefield and Wesley, the author presses the case for a greater commitment to prayer. His advice may not only transform your life, it could be a catalyst towards a change in the world around you.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"God brings books at their appointed times. The Hidden Life of Prayer arrived late but well-timed. This little jewel-strewn tapestry has done for me at 64 what Bounds' Power Through Prayer did at 34. I could be ashamed that I need inspiration for the highest privilege. But I choose to be thankful."

-- John Piper (Founder of Desiring God Ministries, Chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary, Minneapolis, Minnesota)

"I have read The Hidden Life of Prayer again and again since Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia first gave it to me when I visited there as a prospective student forty years ago. Every time I read this book, the Lord uses it to deepen my prayer life and encourage my faith. I strongly recommend it!"

-- Wayne Grudem

"It was in 1971 I first read this book I was shown a copy in Al Martin's home and he told me how he used it, which plan I took up enthusiastically and have used ever since. I have read it through aloud during a week of morning meetings with various assistants and with deacons before they have started work... Every time I read it I discover something fresh, convicting and helpful. The book does not make you afraid of prayer. It has a fragrance of Disruption times and the Awakening in the middle of the 19th century, in fact the author was born in that great year of 1859. He later married the daughter of Andrew Bonar and that warm piety and close walk with God characterizes this, McIntyre's best book.

-- Geoff Thomas

"We hardly get a glimpse today of the prayer life which this book gives evidence. Hardly surprising that it comes recommended by such men as Geoff Thomas, Wayne Grudem and John Piper. Read it slowly and let the author instruct you in prayer."

-- The Evangelical Magazine

    Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2011

    The quote from John Piper on the cover is most fitting ... This book is definitely a jewel. It is not very long but don't think you will be able to get through it quickly. Every paragraph is jammed packed with excellent insights. The author, David McIntyre was born 1859 in Monikie, Angus (Scotland). The writing and language used is not 21rst century American english. That alone can cause you to have to slow down a little while reading through the book. I actually think the language of Mr. McIntyre is a strength. The language and insights presented in this book are powerful and worth reading over slowly. You will need to read through this book several times I am sure in order to extract all the gems contained inside.

    McIntyre site many other of his contemporaries in this book. So this is not strictly all his own personal insights.

    Bottom line: This book is on a whole different level than the modern day books about prayer that have been offered up for the last 50 (or so) years.

    If you are looking for MEAT ... This is it!!!

    If you are looking for a book to describe for you the intimacy of prayer, this is it. I do not want to say more, I just recommend that you read it for yourself.

    I had the good fortune to find this book 30 years ago. It is very simply the best book there is on prayer. It packs an incredible amount of insight into just a few pages. Read it and be blessed!!

    John Piper says "One of the great uses of Twitter and Facebook will be to prove at the Last Day that prayerlessness was not from a lack of time." This book brings the thoughts of many great men of faith just what they believed about prayer. After reading it I bought several copies for my children and friends. I highly recommend this book.

    I want to learn everything I can about prayer. I could have listened to these two CDs once and gone on about my business but I would have missed more than 80% of what is offered. I regularly listen to the two CDs. I want every principle to sink in and take root! This is a wonderful offering!
