Lessons in the School of Prayer

by Arthur Tappan Pierson

"Dr. Pierson supplied at Metropolitan Tabernacle when "C H. Spurgeon was near death. Before that Dr. Pierson was a pastor in Detroit. "Major D. W. Whittle and "P. P. Bliss held meetings there. As they were leaving Major Whittle said, "Brother Pierson, Bliss and I are firmly convinced that God would mightily use you if you were wholly consecrated to Him." Shortly after Pierson wrote to "D. L. Moody, "I felt as if God had laid His hand on my shoulder and said, '1 am thy God; henceforth be a man of prayer and faith and give thyself to the work of saving souls.' I replied, 'Lord, by Thy grace, I will.'" He wrote this excellent study taken from all of the words spoken by our Lord on the subject of prayer with special attention to the chronological order in which they were spoken. It's a masterpiece by a great author of the past generation.
