Last one I read was by E.M. Bounds. I would add that many *real* revivals started with persistent prayer, when men of God stained the carpets with their tears for the lost. No one prays, or should I say, very few pray that way any more as it is too exhausting for modern Americans. Maybe even embarrassing? Just watch the headlines if you can't think of something to weep before the Altar... Mike Sr. I think I’ll have to get a copy. Last one I read was by E.M. Bounds.

No one prays, or should I say, very few pray that way any more as it is too exhausting for modern Americans.

Maybe even embarrassing?

Dan is my pastor's name - I suspect I imagined I was writing to him. Now to comment on this subject: Prayer. In my library I have a book entitled MORE LIKE THE MASTER. It was published by Beacon Hill Press - with a copyright of 1966. It was given to me about 1970 by my pastor at that time. I feel confident it is out of print. But! It has a strong direction toward the kneeling Christian and prayer. When I am down - as I was a month ago when I had a heart attack - my wife prayed for me in the hospital and God answered her prayers. I am doing fine with medication, exercise and diet. Three stents in the arteries on both sides of my heart. God is so Good. Wes Allard Mansfield, Texas.
