Sampler From a Way to Pray

by Matthew Henry, O. Palmer Robertson (Editor)

Using the Words of Scripture to Enrich Prayer
Matthew Henry's A Method for Prayer,/i> (1710) consists almost entirely of Scripture, under various headings, to help Christians pray in harmony with the truth of God. It has been revised by O. Palmer Robertson to allow the language of prayer to be expressed in today's idiom. This Pocket Puritan is a sampler for that larger work. It is sent out with confidence that God will honour his Word, as it is redirected back to him in the form of heartfelt prayer.

About the author

Matthew Henry was an English non-conformist clergyman. Henry's well-known Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1708–1710) is a commentary of a practical and devotional rather than of a critical kind, covering the whole of the Old Testament, and the Gospels and Acts in the New Testament.

Reviews

[Mark A Powell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Matthew Henry, perhaps best known for his commentary on the Bible, actually stopped that work short of completion to pen A Method for Prayer in 1710. This modern-day reprint is a very brief sampler from that work, where Henry skillfully demonstrates how to pray the very words of Scripture back to the One from whom they came. Credit O. Palmer Robertson for overseeing and editing this sampler, a helpful tool when it comes to effective prayer.
