A call to Prayer Part 1

Practical teaching on prayer by 
J.C. Ryle

A Call to Prayer, written by Anglican bishop John Charles Ryle, is a bold, encouraging, and compassionate invitation to all God’s children to come before Him in prayer. It is a direct admonition to pray sincerely and incessantly. In this part, Ryle explains that one of the most important challenges confronting our country and the world is the crisis of fatherhood. Indeed, if the world is to be saved, the Church must be revitalized. If the macro-Church is to be revitalized, the micro-Church of the family must be revitalized as well. And, if the family is to be healed and revitalized, the man who is both husband and father must become the man God made him be – a father on earth like the Father in heaven. Ryle was recognized for his warm, straightforward candor, the kind that appeals to all souls and A Call to Prayer is no exception.
