Product Description
With Christ in the School of Prayer: It is under a deep impression that the place and power of prayer in the Christian life is too little understood that this book has been written. I feel sure that as long as we look on prayer chiefly as the means of maintaining our own Christian life, we shall not know fully what it is meant to be. But when we learn to regard it as the highest part of the work entrusted to us, the root and strength of all other work, we shall see that there is nothing that we so need to study and practice as the art of praying correctly.

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Few books have had as much impact on calling the church to prayer as Andrew Murray's classic, With Christ in the School of Prayer. It was based on the teachings of this book that we named our Change the World Schools of Prayer seminars, which have now touched the lives of believers around the world."I encourage you to saturate yourself in this timeless classic and learn how you can prepare yourself for effective participation in the highest calling Christ has given the Church-the call to intercessory prayer." -Dick Eastman, Founder And Director, Change the World Ministries Sponsoring Change the World Schools of Prayer
About the Author
South African pastor and author Andrew Murray (1828 1917)
was an amazingly prolific writer. Murray began writing on the
Christian life for his congregation as an extension of his local
pastoral work, but he became internationally known for his
books, such as With Christ in the School of Prayer and Abide
in Christ, that searched men's hearts and brought them into a
deeper relationship with Christ. With intense purpose and zeal
for the message of the gospel, Murray wrote numerous books
even after his "retirement" at age seventy-eight.

Hundreds of books on prayer later, this is the BEST!!!
By jhilbe@unidial.com
The contents of this book are the experiences of a Christian, for sure, whose faith in God was tried. The examples are clear, the results of real. Anyone who desires to hear from God and receive "the desires of their heart" should carefully read this book. Of all my books, this one will never be loaned out, for it has many years of practical wisdom pertaining to "touching the hem of His garment". If you need a miracle in your life; If your prayer life needs a boost; If you need to know that God hears all your prayers, and is answering them; If you're a minister; If you're wandering aimlessly through life and need direction, then READ THIS BOOK. Andrew Murray wrote it 165 years ago, but it as relevant today as it was then, for the need to learn more about prayer is a timeless desire from all ages. In the back of this book, there is a section titled "George Mueller, and the Secret of His Power in Prayer." Read this book and your prayer life will never be idle again! Read this book and you'll never lack again to know God's will! Read this book and see God's mighty hand work in your life!

Should Be A Bible College Textbook
By Seeking Disciple
I bought this book while a sophmore in Bible college and it changed by life. I have read many books on prayer from Samuel Chadwick, Leonard Ravenhill, A.W. Tozer, Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley, and many others but Andrew Murray's books remain near the top. This book should be a required reading text for every disciple of Christ.
Murray's chapters are short, concise, and he fills your heart with a hunger for God's presence. While his writing style may be dated and his language archaic at times, Murray's passion for prayer shines through. He truly takes you to the school of prayer and leads you before the throne of Almight God.
If you love to pray, struggle with prayer, or want to learn the secrets of the saints of old who spread God's truth without technology but their voices and their Bibles then read Andrew Murray's classic works on prayer.

Very poor grammar
By Virginia A. Sisson
Do not choose this edition! I am very familiar with this title, and have passed it on to many. Now, looking for an inexpensive copy for a group, I chose this publication of the title. Murray is from the late 19th C, as is his language, so although it is a bit more of a struggle for today's reader's, his concepts are clearly presented. However, this version has not been edited! Entire sentences are missing, there are commas where none belong, and many absent where there should be. This makes Murray's ideas even more difficult to understand. I instead chose the title from another publisher and paid a few more dollars. The other publication, by Whitaker House, ISBN 9780883681060, is by far superior to this very poor edition.
