About the author

Charles Grandison Finney was a leader in the Second Great Awakening. He has been called The Father of Modern Revivalism. Finney was best known as an innovative revivalist, an opponent of Old School Presbyterian theology, an advocate of Christian perfectionism, a pioneer in social reforms in favor of women and blacks, a religious writer, and president at Oberlin College.

He is not to be mistaken for his great-grandson, Charles G. Finney (1905-1984).

Reviews

[Nelson Banuchi · Rating 3 out of 5]

While encouraging, Finney pulls no punches in all 64 pages. He calls it as he sees it. If, as a Christian, you desire a healthy prayer life yet seem to struggle with it, here is a good place to begin teaching yourself about how to go about, not just praying but, to keep on praying for God to answer without losing heart, and maintaining an lifestyle of obedience to God's will.

Admittedly, there is much about prayer that one can learn, which cannot be put in a small book of 64 pages, but this is a good place to start.

Este livro é um sermão que Finney realizou. São várias meditações sobre a oração e seu uso por alguns personagens, incluindo Jesus Cristo. É bastante interessante como ensinamento para o cristão.
