About the author
Arthur Wallis
30 books17 followersArthur Wallis (1922-1988)was an itinerant preacher and bible teacher. His ministry had a particular emphasis on revival, prayer, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the ‘restoration’ of the church. He had deeply impacted by accounts of the Revival that took place on the Isle of Lewis in 1949 which he visited. His book In the Day of Thy Power (Christian Literature Crusade: 1956) was the fruit of this visit and his subsequent studies. He wrote some eleven books on themes promoting the Christian life, and traveled widely (in particular to the USA, Australia and New Zealand).
Shortly before his death, he asked for no other memorial than “fruit in people’s lives”. Those who had the privilege of knowing him testify to the lasting impact that Arthur made upon them. His vision for revival is as fresh and as relevant now as it ever was. His book, God’s Chosen Fast (Kingsway: 1968) is the acknowledged classic on the topic of fasting, whilst his book The Radical Christian (Kingsway: 1981) which was his most difficult to write continues to call the Christian to live the dynamic life of Jesus.

Adapted from an address Arthur Wallis gave at High Leigh conference centre in January 1965, this little book(let) consists of seven short chapters covering the recorded prayers of Jesus in the gospel of Luke.
So, we explore Jesus praying in the hours of: dedication, acclamation, decision, revelation, transfiguration, instruction and redemption. Each one could stand alone and would make an interesting focus for a group study. Some of the language now seems quite dated and the references all come form the Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Nevertheless, the truths that the speaker/author draws out are timeless.
This is really a rallying call and reminder of the importance of prayer, not in a cognitive sense, but as a conviction that needs to be borne out in action. I found it timely and helpful.
