P. T. Forsyth, (1848-1921) was a Scottish theologian, considered one of the most brilliant theologians of the early twentieth century.

Forsyth writes in open paragraph of his book, "The Soul of Prayer", "It is difficult and even formidable thing to write on prayer, and one fears to touch the Ark. Perhaps no one ought to undertake it unless he has spent more toil in the practice of prayer than on its principle. But perhaps also the effort to look into its principle may be graciously regarded by Him whoever liveth to make intercession as itself a prayer to know better how to pray. All progress in prayer is an answer to prayer--our own or another’s. And all true prayer promotes its own progress and increases our power to pray."

Forsyth moves beyond the theological aspects of prayer and well into the practical aspects. If you long to grow your prayer life, this excellent book by P. T. Forsyth will help you on your way.
