This is a companion volume to Principles of Prayer by nineteenth-century revivalist Charles Finney.

Parkhurst, Jr. presents selections from Finney's autobiography and other of his various writings of instances of extraordinary answers to prayer. This is an excellent resource for devotional reading as each of the 30 chapters are only two to three pages long and helps to stir us to pray, teaches us the goal of prayer, which is to receive answers, and encourages us in knowing that God does answer prayer and does so in a manner that is beyond what we ask or imagine.
