Excerpt from The Model Christian Worker, John Potter Prayer is a power. On the lips of an Elgah it locked up the heavens and threw away the kev. And, again, it unlocked the brazen gates of the sky, and let down on the perished earth the life-giving treasures Of the rain. What could it not have done on the lip of Jesus of Nazareth? But he did not shut himself up to prayer; he went about doing good. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
