Publisher's Note:

This is a short but powerful plea, from a true pastor's heart, for fervent prayer in the life of every Christian. Using Luke 18:1 and 1 Timothy 2:1, Ryle shows the tremendous encouragements to the life of prayer and with real feeling warns of the dangers of its neglect. This is a book that every Christian should read and return to regularly.

J C Ryle (1816-1900) served churches in East Anglia before being appointed as the first Bishop of Liverpool. His published works include Holiness, Practical Religion and Expository Thoughts on the Gospels.
