Memoirs of the life of the saintly character known as "Praying Hyde," one of God's choice gifts to the church in India and whose intercession changed things. A classic. Until recently out of print.
Christians who have been blessed by stories of prayer warriors such as George Mueller, Andrew Murray, Charles Finney will be refreshed and inspired by the moving story of John Hyde. There is no better book to enlist new intercessors than "The Praying Hyde." There is also no better example of how to pray effectively than that found in this classic book. John Hyde knew what it was to go to the "prayer closet," to weep for souls, to fast and pray with tears coursing down his cheeks for the salvation of lost souls. Any Christian who has a heart or burden for prayer will be entirely blessed and inspired by this book. When it came to prayer, John Hyde was a man among men and one with few peers. "The Praying Hyde" is more than a huge motivator, it is a rich book, sure to lead the reader into deep-but rewarding-spiritual waters.
Basil Miller traces the life of John Hyde from beginning to triumphant climax. We see God moulding Hyde’s soul into an instrument t for His use. We hear John speaking the language of heaven to the eager men and women of India. Paramount in the biography is the power of prayer in the life of this great missionary. Courageously Hyde placed his petitions before God and inspired others to do the same. In the autumn of his life this consecrated missionary to India saw the gleaming harvest of his prayers—a harvest of souls saved by the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ. At last ‘the man who never slept’ went to be with his Saviour. But today in the Punjab, under the shadow of the Himalayas, still hovers the spirit of Praying Hyde - ‘the apostle of prayer.’ Do you desire a richer prayer life — deeper communion with God — more eloquent and soul-stirring speech with the Almighty? A thoughtful reading of this biography of Praying Hyde will prove helpful to you as you seek to develop that supreme skill of the Christian life - prayer.
Setting out for India in 1892, one could have wondered how John Hyde would fare as a missionary. His slowness of speech, slightly defective hearing, and his apparent lack of enthusiasm and zeal appeared to be a hindrance to his effectiveness. But Hyde discovered the power of intercessory prayer, and the results were staggering. He proved that prayer was an evangelical force in India: by faith he claimed one soul a day, then two, then four. Through his intercessory prayer, God was able to work in remarkable ways in conventions, churches, and personal lives. It is no surprise that he was often called "The Apostle of Prayer."--Back cover.

John Nelson Hyde (November 9, 1865 - February 17, 1912) was an American missionary who preached in the Punjab. Born in Illinois, the son of a Presbyterian minister. He came to believe that God was calling him to India where he arrived in 1892 to preach in the Punjab region. His mission at first gained few converts and endured persecution. So he began to pray very intensely. From 1899 he began to spend entire nights in prayer to God. He formed the Punjab Prayer Union, the members of which set aside half an hour a day to pray for spiritual revival. In 1908 he told the conference his dream that there would be one conversion a day, and a year later over 400 more converts had been made. He came to be called "Praying Hyde" for his passionate prayers to reach lost souls. Hyde's last words were "Shout the victory of Jesus Christ!"
Well-known evangelist Charles Finney said. "The key which unlocked the Heavens in revival was the prayers of...Nash and others who laid themselves before God's throne."
Experience Continuous Revival Historically there have been seasons where God’s presence awakens revival – moving in powerful ways, saving souls, and releasing miracles. We often think of these seasons as isolated, unique outpourings of the Spirit. Is it possible to experience revival every day, as a way of life...
Samuel Chadwick (1860-1932) was a Wesleyan Methodist minister, and a nonsense kind of preacher. His works have endured long after his death, and will doubtless continue to impact readers, as his practical approach and straight-forwards style make even the most complicated topic easy to grasp.
