About This Book

A collection of sermons and essays examines the practice and perceived effects of prayer, presenting theological reflection alongside many anecdotal accounts of timely responses to petitions. Topics include spiritual telepathy and intuition, forms of prayer, intercession for others, unanswered petitions, Pentecostal experience, and guidance for seeking material and vocational needs. Practical axioms and illustrative stories are used to explore how individual faith, communal worship, attention, and expectancy are believed to influence outcomes, while attention is also given to appropriate attitudes and explanations when prayers seem not to be answered.

About the Author

Russell H. Conwell

Russell H. Conwell was an American Baptist minister, orator, and writer, best known for his influential lecture "Acres of Diamonds," which emphasizes the idea that opportunities for success are often found in one's own backyard. Conwell founded Temple University in Philadelphia, aiming to provide education to those who might not otherwise have access. His works often focus on personal development, success, and the importance of education, as seen in titles like "Every Man His Own University" and "The Key to Success." Conwell's writings reflect his belief in the potential of every individual to achieve greatness through hard work and determination.
