Not every book thrives in an online format, but Matthew Henry’s A Method for Prayer does! 

Christian Non-Fiction Book Review by Roger Harned

Actual book is online: linked in this review.

The following resource is helpful for all believers and any interested in growing effectiveness in our prayer life.  One of the pleasant difficulties of categorizing this updated resource is that it is designed for the internet and falls rightfully into three current categories:

1. Prayer
2. Christian Non-Fiction Book Reviews
3. Other Media

We could easily add sections of this important book on prayer to our Biblical categories as well, especially Good News of the Four Gospels.

Matthew Henry has long been a favorite commentator on scripture to whom I have looked for difficult and insightful answers.

Matthew Henry (1662-1714), beloved commentator on the Scriptures, was born near Whitchurch (Salop), England.

The contents follow the structure of the Lord’s Prayer (Kingdom Prayer; the Our Father).  Each chapter is concise and easily bookmarked. Readers may view scriptures for various short prayers with a move of the mouse to its ESV reference.

I would recommend this wonderful resource for prayer for each and every Christian of all faiths.

 Let us now worship God, who is spirit, in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.

Unto you, O Lord, do we lift up our souls.
