With Christ in the School of Prayer by Andrew Murray

With Christ in the School of Prayer by Andrew Murray has been a precious resource to me for 10 years or more. It is a classic. I discovered it while in Mission, Texas working in a local congregation which had people who wanted to go deeper with the Lord in prayer...I was one of those people.  I opened the book again this morning and intend to read it through again.  I just read through the first chapter aloud and slowed down my reading so I could savor the many morsels ready for tasting.  Here is a quote from the PREFACE, The place and power of prayer in the Christian life is too little understood.  As long as we view prayer simply as the means of maintaining our own Christian lives, we will not fully understand what it is really supposed 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 will see that there is nothing we need to study and practice more than the art of praying.
