The Power of Prayer in a Believer’s Life
Charles H. Spurgeon
Christian Living
This UECF.NET web edition is based on the supplied PDF The-Power-of-Prayer-in-a-Believer-s-Life-Christian-Living.pdf. The printed volume is titled The Power of Prayer in a Believer’s Life (Christian Living Classics). Publication information present in that file includes Emerald Books, a division of YWAM Publishing, Lynnwood, Washington; ISBN 1-883002-03-6; and the notice “Copyright ©1993 by Lance C. Wubbels.” The compiler is named Robert Hall.
Because that 1993 edition is a copyrighted compilation whose introduction states that “careful editing has helped to sharpen the focus of these sermons,” this Web Book does not reproduce the 1993 introduction, dedication, about-the-editor pages, or the modernized/abridged sermon text. Instead it presents the twelve corresponding original sermons from the New Park Street Pulpit and Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, which are in the public domain.
A scan of the supplied edition is also held at the Internet Archive under the identifier powerofprayerinb0000char.
