Review: THE KNEELING CHRISTIAN by Anonymous

This was written back in the 1800s by ... well, I don't know who wrote it. That seems right to me.

It's a book on prayer, and while there's a good deal about asking for what we want, there's more about shutting up and listening to God. I admit that prayer is a weak spot for me, and from talking to others, listening to God isn't something naturally do well. It takes a long time before we're open enough for God to speak to us and through us.

I enjoyed this book, and especially that it was written anonymously. It reads less like a how-to guide and more like a book of medieval Christian mysticism. I recommend it be read while you're on your knees.
