This superb collection unites two of A. B. Simpson's finest works, which together advise and counsel Christians who wish to live a harmonious existence close to God. Written at the beginning of the 20th century, Simpson's guidance retains its freshness and impact despite the long lapse of time. His evangelical spirit was convinced in the truth of his God-divined words, and he partly attributed the success of missions he oversaw to the profundity of his words and hymns. The first work, The Life of Prayer, examines the need for Christian prayer and reflection from multiple perspectives. Quoting the New Testament scriptures, Simpson expounds on the words of the gospels, explaining their continued importance to the faithful in the present day. The second paper, The Power of Stillness, is a short but sublime meditation on the importance of a moment's contemplative silence. That moment of quiet which follows a concluded prayer, recited hymn, or indeed much music in the church or outside it, is discussed.

A. B. Simpson's classic commentary on the Gospels takes a four-pronged approach to the life, virtues and purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ. Firstly the book considers Christ's role as a savior of mankind. Simpson ably defines what salvation is, what its consequences are for believers, and how blessings are dispensed and received. The second chapter concerns the sanctification of Jesus Christ; the process through which he acquired rightful renown as a holy figure. Simpson is careful to define what does and does not constitute sanctity, dispelling several misconceptions in his lucid guidance. Thirdly Simpson examines the nature of Christ as a healer. Striking a contrast between the nature of curative medicine, and the nature of divine healing, we receive definitions of what divine healing is and is not. Lastly, the author turns to the Second Coming of Christ. What this impending event means for Christians and humanity, and how believers may anticipate and infer signs of Christ's return to Earth.

Albert Benjamin Simpson (December 15, 1843 - October 29, 1919), also known as A. B. Simpson, was a Canadian preacher, theologian, author, and founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), an evangelical denomination with an emphasis on global evangelism.During the beginning of the twentieth century, Simpson became closely involved with the growing Pentecostal movement, an offshoot of the Holiness movement. It was common for Pentecostal pastors and missionaries to receive their training at the Missionary Training Institute, now Nyack College, Nyack, New York, that Simpson founded. Because of this, Simpson and the C&MA had a great influence on Pentecostalism, in particular the Assemblies of God and the Church of the Foursquare Gospel. This influence included evangelistic emphasis, C&MA doctrine (especially on healing and his articulation of a Fourfold Gospel), and Simpson's hymns and books.A severe division developed within the C&MA organization over "the initial evidence doctrine" within Pentecostalism. While Simpson and the C&MA wholeheartedly embraced the Filling of the Holy Spirit and the spiritual gifts, including speaking with tongues, they rejected the position that tongues was the only initial evidence for that Baptism experience; instead, they held that the primary evidence is the Fruit of the Holy Spirit and that "fruitful ministry" is another strong proof.A number of C&MA churches bear Simpson's name, as does Simpson University in Redding, California, the Albert B. Simpson school in Lima, Peru, the A. B. Simpson Alliance School in Zamboanga City, Philippines, and the Simpson Memorial Church (established in 1923) in Jamalpur, Ahmedabad, India. A. B. Simpson and his wife, Margaret, are buried on the Rockland County Campus of Nyack College in Nyack, New York. (wikipedia.org)

It is the very life of the Christian, and it touches the life of God Himself.We enter the sacred chamber on our knees. We still our thoughts and words, and say, "Lord, teach us to pray. Give us Thy holy desires, and let our prayer be the very echo of Thy will. Give us Thy Spirit as our Advocate within. Open our eyes to see our Great High Priest and Advocate above, and help us so to abide in Him, and to have His Word so abiding in us, that we shall ask what we will, and it shall be done unto us." And as in ignorance and weakness we venture to speak and think upon this vital theme, "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." And may every true word and thought of this little volume be a living experience to him who speaks and to all who hear, and so minister to the life of prayer in all our lives, that it shall bring, in some humble measure, an answer to the greatest of all prayers, and the prayer with which this opening chapter begins and to which this book is dedicated, "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."
