Why are many Christians often defeated? Because they pray so little. Why do most Christians see so few brought "out of darkness to light" by their ministry? Because they pray so little. Why are our churches simply not on fire for God? Because there is so little real prayer. We may be assured of this: The secret of all failure is our failure in secret prayer. This book explores, in depth: God's wonder at our lack of prayer God's incredible promises concerning those who do pray God's condition for providing signs God's desire for earnest prayer God's perspective on hindrances to prayer The Lord Jesus is as powerful today as ever before. The Lord Jesus is as anxious for men to be saved as ever before. His arm is not shortened that it cannot save, but He does not stretch forth His arm unless we pray more - and more genuinely. Prayer, real prayer, is the noblest, the sublimest, and the most stupendous act that any creature of God can perform. Lord, teach us how to pray."

DO YOU DESIRE TO HAVE POWER IN PRAYER? Few books have had as much impact on calling believers in Christ to prayer as Albert Richardson's classic, "The Kneeling Christian" under the pseudonym "An Unknown Christian". In a truly interesting style, the author set about to familiarize Christians with the source of power available to them through prayer. He simply goes to the Scripture and points out how all real growth in the spiritual life, all confidence, and peace in the presence of difficulties and dangers, all victory over temptation, all repose of spirit in times of great disappointment or loss, all habitual communion with God, depends on the practice of secret prayer. This is one book worth reading and re-reading every single year because its message is truly timeless and never grows old.

Prayer, although an essential ingredient of the Christian experience, remains mysterious and foreign to many Christians. Realizing this, a well-known (but anonymous) Christian wrote this volume to teach Christians about the power available to them through prayer. According to The Kneeling Christian, all real growth in the spiritual life—all victory over temptation, all confidence and peace in the presence of difficulties and dangers, all repose of spirit in times of great disappointment of loss, all habitual communion with God—depends upon the practice of secret prayer.

New Softcover Edition with Index! Considered by Ratzinger devotees as his greatest work on the Liturgy, this profound and beautifully written treatment of the "great prayer of the Church" will help readers rediscover the Liturgy in all its hidden spiritual wealth and transcendent grandeur as the very center of our Christian life. Among the many liturgical issues that he covers in this work, Cardinal Ratzinger discusses fundamental misunderstandings of the Second Vatican Council's intentions for liturgical renewal, especially the orientation of prayer at the Eucharistic sacrifice, the placement of the tabernacle, and the posture of kneeling. Other important topics he discusses include the following: the essence of worship; Jewish roots and new elements of the Christian Liturgy; the historic and cosmic dimensions of the Liturgy; the relationship of the Liturgy to time and space; art, music, and the Liturgy; active participation of all the faithful; gestures, posture, and vestments. "My purpose here is to assist this renewal of understanding of the Liturgy. Its basic intentions coincide with what Guardini wanted to achieve. The only difference is that I have had to translate what Guardini did at the end of the First World War, in a totally different historical situation, into the context of our present-day questions, hopes, and dangers. Like Guardini, I am not attempting to involve myself with scholarly discussion and research. I am simply offering an aid to the understanding of the faith and to the right way to give the faith its central form of expression in the Liturgy." - Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, from the preface
