John Calvin on Prayer

Prayer Books by 
John Calvin

Words fail to convey how fundamental prayer is. In so many ways, the exercise of prayer is precious, and it is by the great effect of prayer that His devout children obtain those treasures which are put up for them with the heavenly Father. In this revered religious literature, French theologian and pastor John Calvin presents the rules for right prayer. Prayer, first and foremost, is about oneself. Prayer shapes character and is an essential discipline of the Christian life. It’s the expression of our desires to our heavenly Father, confessions of our faults, and thankful recognition of his blessings. It’s also a responsibility; that God compels Christians to pray is a sufficient incentive. In Calvin in Prayer, Christians looking to strengthen their relationship with God are enlightened to an improved practice of prayer with kind yet firm guidance, making it an excellent exercise either by personal or communal means.
