The Pastor in Prayer

Summary: Spurgeon: The Praying Pastor
Review: Charles Spurgeon is best remembered for many things such as his powerful sermons, his Down-Grade controversey, or his church in London, England. But few remember him for his prayer life. D.L. Moody once commented after returning from England when asked if he had Spurgeon preach he replied, "Even more, I heard Spurgeon pray."

This book is a collection of prayers by Spurgeon. Some have described Charles Spurgeon as the last English puritan. They may be right. These collection of prayers offered on Sunday mornings were copied down along with his sermons. However, the sermons made the print while the prayers often did not. We have them now and every Christian (especially evangelical pastors) should read and mark well the prayers of Spurgeon.

Oh that we would abandon such pragmatic theology that seeks to copy methods of men and return to the paths of God! Rather than seeking God's face, we seek men's ideas. May God forgive us for not praying. May we learn from Charles Spurgeon that true power if found on our face before a holy God.
