Lately I have realized that many times we Christians talk about God, but not to God, he's in our heads, but not in our hearts...crying is a sign of life that the newborn is alive, so is prayer/crying out to God, a sign that we are "born again". My prayer is that we'll get convicted, and inspired to seek the Lord in prayer and meditation on his Word.

It was in 1859 during the Second Great Evangelical Revival, that E.M.Bounds (1835-1913) was ordained as a pastor in Missouri. As an author, he wrote eleven books, of which nine deal with prayer. This recent reprint is probably his most well known. Here are a couple of quotes from his book -

"Nothing is so dead as a dead orthodoxy, too dead to speculate, too dead to think, to study, or to pray."

"I ought to pray before seeing any one. Often when I sleep long, or meet with others early, it is eleven or twelve o’clock before I begin secret prayer. This is a wretched system. It is unscriptural. Christ arose before day and went into a solitary place. David says: “Early will I seek thee”; “Thou shalt early hear my voice.” Family prayer loses much of its power and sweetness, and I can do no good to those who come to seek from me. The conscience feels guilty, the soul unfed, the lamp not trimmed. Then when in secret prayer the soul is often out of tune, I feel it is far better to begin with God—to see his face first, to get my soul near him before it is near another.—Robert Murray McCheyne"

Condition of Used Books

  • As New is self-explanatory. It means that the book is in the state that it should have been in when it left the publisher.
  • Fine (F or FN) is As New but allowing for the normal effects of time on an unused book that has been protected. A fine book shows no damage.
  • Very Good (VG) describes a book that is worn but untorn. For many collectors this is the minimum acceptable condition for all but the rarest items.
  • Good (G) is (as an old bookselling joke has it) not very good. It is used to describes the condition of an average used worn book that is complete.
  • Fair shows wear and tear but all the text pages and illustrations or maps are present. It may lack endpapers, half-title, and even the title page.
  • Poor describes a book that has the complete text but is so damaged that it is only of interest to a buyer who seeks a reading copy. If the damage renders the text illegible then the book is not even poor.
  • Reprint is a newly-made photocopied reprint. The binding will vary depending on the size of the book. These reprints are made as a service to the body of Christ and the price is only to cover the cost of production.
