About This Book

A collection of essays argues that sincere prayer produces tangible results, explores how environment and sacred places influence devotion, and recounts events around an urban congregation that attributed temple construction and numerous healings to persistent petition. The author examines methods and rationales for answered prayer, warns against superstition and disorderly fanaticism, and offers practical guidance on praying for homes and the sick, alongside reflections on biblical foundations for prayer. Testimonies and anecdotes illustrate varying responses—devout, skeptical, and disturbed—while emphasizing faith, repentance, and disciplined practice as means to spiritual and physical well-being.
