Publisher's summary

The Soul of Prayer was written by P. T. Forsyth (1848 - 1921), a British Nonconformist minister and author of 25 books and 260 articles. In this work, the author discusses the philosophical and scriptural principles relating to the prayer life of believers. He expounds on the inwardness, the naturalness, and the timelessness of prayer, and considers the vicariousness and the insistency of the practice. The Soul of Prayer serves as an in-depth resource for the earnest seeker on how to cultivate and maintain a fruitful prayer life.

Great public domain book; HORRIBLE reading

This is a fabulous book that is in the public domain, but I was willing to pay to have a better version than what can be found on YouTube or LibriVox. NOT WORTH IT.

The reader drones repetitively. Stopping at every phrase. Every bit sounding the same. Nothing ever changing. It goes on and on. I could barely get through it all. Argh, he's still droning. Please make it stop. But the book is SO good.

Additionally, I get the idea that the narrator has NO idea what this book is about. He routinely mispronounced words:

li-TUR-gy
omni-PO-tence
a-PAH-stalick

Anyone, with any background in Christianity or church history, should know the words liturgy, omnipotence, and apostolic.

This was the worse Audible experience I have had, and since I chose to PAY for this public domain reading, I'm stuck with it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
