Publisher Description
This book has been written with a deep impression that the place and power of prayer in the Christian life is too little understood. I feel sure that as long as we look on prayer solely 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 we need nothing more than to study and practice the art of praying. If I have succeeded in pointing out the progressive teaching of our Lord in regard to prayer, and the distinct reference of His wonderful promises of His last night to the works we are to do in His name – to the greater works and the bearing of much fruit – we shall all admit that only when the church gives herself up to this holy work of intercession can she expect the power of Christ to manifest itself on her behalf. I pray that God will use this book to explain to some of His children the wonderful place of power and influence that He is waiting for them to occupy and that a weary world is waiting for too. - Andrew Murray

"The author continually repeats Lord teach us to pray; and chapter by chapter he gives us more and more insight on how to pray. We must have faith and hope in the Lord; we are to worship Him in spirit, truth, obedience, and in secret. We can ask in bold confidence and expect an answer. We are to remember our prayers are a dialogue with God, and not a monologue. We must make intercessory prayers for others. Our prayers are to be persevering, when the time is right we will reap abundantly, don't give up. Whatever we ask, we are to ask and claim in Jesus' name. When we draw near to God, He draws near to us. All good spiritual advice In the School of Prayer!"

With Christ in the School of Prayer Listener Reviews

" Not originally what I thought it was going to be (a resource on how-to pray). More of a 31-day devotional on the focus of what prayers should be. "

" Andrew Murray doesn't disappoint in this book that will lead you to the foot of the Cross. "
— Ann, 2/17/2014 -
" I have read this book before and it is an excellent book on prayer. Has 31 chapters of about 6-8 pages each. Perfect for reading one chapter each day as a devotional. This is the type of book to read and put in practice, not just read and do nothing with it. "

" Very deep, very insightful. A fantastic book about what prayer ought to be. It also opens up the floor for a lot of great conversation. "
— Hannah, 9/11/2011 -
" It's not my favorite Murray book. Still a good number of highlights, but I found much of it tedious this reading. My favorite part was the summary of George Mueller's prayer life and habits appended to the end. "
— Christina, 6/14/2011 -
" Murray is one of my favorite Christian writers, and this is one of the best books I have ever read. A complete study of the subject of prayer, based entirely on the words of Jesus from the Gospels. Deep, profound, accurate, orthodox, challenging. "
