The Secret Key to Heaven

"The Secret Key to Heaven," a classic by noted Puritan author Thomas Brooks, is all about the benefits of private or "privy" prayer. Christians who are longing to know what the Bible says about prayer or how the Scriptures can lead into a deeper prayer life will undoubtedly be blessed by this book. Brooks leaves no stone unturned as he goes from passage after passage in the Bible to show the power that the believer has in prayer because of our God who answers prayer (Matthew 6:7-8; 7:7-11). Brooks covers a wide variety of prayer-related topics, beginning with a short study of who God is to under understanding how sin or a lack of faith can hinder prayer (Mark 11:22-24). Chock full of biblical teaching on prayer, this book will strength to the soul-not to mention encouraging readers to prayer longer and more. Overall, Thomas Brook's book is a solid one that is both practical (because it flows from Scripture not subjective experience) and stirs up your faith and a desire to pray (Romans 8:26-27). Every disciple of Jesus would benefit from reading this book on prayer. Thomas Brooks is an excellent author. His books speak deeply into the soul and spirit. The depth of his love of God and Jesus take the reader into a level of understanding prayer beyond the grasp of most authors. This is not a book to be read only once. A treasure of knowledge, it should be read and re-read-a "must read" for prayer warriors everywhere.
