Devotions and Prayers of John Wesley is a collection of personal prayers and devotions written by the founder of the Methodist movement, John Wesley. The book is organized into daily readings, with each day featuring a different prayer or devotion written by Wesley. The content of the book covers a wide range of topics, including personal holiness, faith, repentance, and gratitude. The prayers and devotions are written in a simple and straightforward style, making them accessible to readers of all backgrounds and levels of spiritual maturity. The book is intended to serve as a daily companion for those seeking to deepen their relationship with God and grow in their faith. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and teachings of the Methodist Church, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of Christian spirituality.

Previously published under the title Alive to God through Prayer, this book has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the current prayer needs of Christians. Demaray offers an enlightening study of how prayer works and explains how any Christian can develop a richer prayer life. Here you will learn how to establish a personal pattern of prayer, how to pray for specific needs (growth, healing, revival, etc.), how to lead a prayer group, how to pray with your family, and much more. One chapter entitled Especially for Ministers and Prayer Group Leaders gives a wealth of practical suggestions to help Christian leaders enrich the prayer life of their congregations. A section of discussion questions at the end of each chapter will prompt you to think further and try some of the prayer methods Demaray describes. These questions also can serve as a springboard for group discussions. HOW ARE YOU PRAYING? . . . presents a reverent approach to the practical aspects of a life of prayerful communion with God. It is an excellent guide for group study and for training courses, as well as for individual instruction and inspiration.
