How to Talk with God

“How to Talk with God.” By “A Veteran Pastor,” Sunday School Times Company, Philadelphia. In white and gold, gilt top, 98 pages, price, 50 cents net.

This little book is on the subject of prayer, as the title indicates. There are three divisions. The first, “A Personal Explanation,” gives the author’s reason for writing the book, which is “to help others increase their power and satisfaction in prayer, both private and public.” He recommends writing prayers, rather than praying extemporaneously. The second division, “How to Talk with God,” gives some practical instruction and advice on the how of prayer. The third division is “A Veteran Pastor’s Prayers,” selections from the author’s own prayers. He does not recommend them as models to be slavishly followed, but gives them as illustrations. As such they are good, tho the thought of written prayers does not appeal to us.
