Biblical Meditation for Spiritual Breakthrough

12 types of Biblical Meditation  by 
Elmer Towns

Dr. Elmer Towns is a college professor, popular seminar lecturer, dedicated Sunday school worker and an author of popular scholarly books that he started writing as a consequence of not being satisfied with the existing textbooks. Elmer draws inspiration from the historical records and context of great Christian leaders who have experienced God through meditation, in turn allowing God to transform their lives to His glory. He states that meditation is a dynamic process that is more than just mantras, methods, positions, formulas and ideologies associated with religions. This book is an outstanding and successful attempt at reviving the discipline of mediation and allowing people to reclaim it in its full potential with proper knowledge and understanding on how to access the power of the process. The book views meditation through the lens of biblical design, encouraging people to change for the better and for the growth of their character.

The Soul of Prayer

Practical Teaching on Prayer by 
P. T. Forsyth

Soul of Prayer by P. T. Forsyth propagates awareness of the glory and gravity of praying when we get down on our knees. Described as a pre-cursor to Karl Barth, Forsyth had humble beginnings and honor in Classic literature. Fighting orthodoxy, pursuing liberal thoughts and seeking the right to rethink Christian ideology, he transformed from being a Christian to a believer, from a lover of love to an object of grace after his experiences as the minister in the Congregational Church in Shipley. Often credited with the recovery of his generation by presenting the real and true dimensions of the grace of God, Forsyth had the sense of responsibility and profound awareness that made him one of the better-known figures in British conformity. Till his death, Forsyth stressed the importance of prayer and repentance. The message in this book is believed to be of vital importance today for the renewal of spirituality.

Prayer Availeth Much by T.M. Anderson

Prayer Avails Much by T.M. Anderson

Practical teaching on prayer

“The brief messages on prayer contained in Prayer That Availeth Much have been written for the purpose of stimulating a greater interest in the importance of praying without ceasing.
Tony Marshall Anderson was convinced that the people of God have not explored the boundless possibilities of prayer. We all evidently believe that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much, but we are often aware of the fact that very little has been accomplished by our own prayers. It has not been possible to present a complete study of the subject of prayer revealed in the Holy Scriptures. For one to undertake such a task would be like an attempt to measure eternity by a span. Tony Marshall Anderson was born in 1888. He was an evangelist and a college professor and was associated with the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Church of the Nazarene. He was convinced that the people of God have not explored the boundless possibilities of prayer.” Taking its title from James 5:16, Prayer Availeth Much is a challenge to Christians; it is a challenge to explore “the boundless possibility of prayer,” as the forward puts it.

Prayer by John Calvin

Prayer

Practical Teaching on Prayer by 
John Calvin

Consistent, sensitive and profound, John Calvin sees Prayer through the lens of social and psychological constants and variables. Not indulging sentimentality, the book is an intimate conversation of the pious as prayer can be described as a means to meet God himself through experience. In the most comprehensive writing on Prayer to be found, John expresses prayer as a chief exercise in faith and that it is more than a verbal declaration or promises by God. Prayer as a notion of a promise lies at the heart of Calvin’s view on prayer and it is in this orientation that Calvin’s theology reaches its full potential. The book speaks about the zeal to serve God, gratefulness, spiritual alertness, finding delight in prayer and God’s generosity that authenticates the efficacy of prayers. John concludes that praying amidst dreadful circumstances refreshes God’s love even though that may not seem apparent in those situations.

Practical teaching on prayer by 
Thomas Watson

One of the most popular preachers in London in the Puritan era and famous puritan preachers in history, Thomas Watson is a prodigious writer who addresses a wide range of subjects including All Things for Good that was originally published by A Divine Cordial, practical divinity, Ten Commandments. A nonconformist, Thomas’s writings are clear, rich and relatable today as they were during the 17th century. The Lord’s Prayer is a three-volume edition that is outstandingly helpful and can be said to be an ideal guide to Christian doctrine, analyzing the preface of prayer and six petitions in detail notwithstanding vigorous dissents. Illuminating and stirring, divine and practical, devotional and beautiful, theologically rich and pastorally sensitive, this book is a great introduction to Puritan literature and it provides practical help as it focuses on biblical instructions. It is a lengthy read but it is metamorphic gold mine of wisdom and insights.

Short and Easy Method of Prayer

Practical Teaching on Prayer by 
Madame Guyon

How should we pray? Should we sit, stand, or fall to our knees with our eyes close? Is there such thing as the proper way to pray?
Madame Guyon’s prayer styles disturbed the conventional church of her time. After she wrote this book, she was imprisoned for seven years. But after her death in 1717, it was published worldwide. This work reminds us to be quiet and take our time with God, letting His word penetrate our hearts as we patiently wait on Him. This prayer style is known today as contemplative prayer—a kind of prayer that chooses no time and place to pray but advocates for being in a state of constant prayer throughout the day.
This work can be read quickly, but it would be much better to savor it little by little as we discover how to rest in His presence all the days of our lives.
