Dwight Lyman Moody (1837–1899) was an American evangelist who left a Chicago shoe business for full-time Christian work. Through YMCA service, his Chicago church, and revival campaigns with singer Ira Sankey across Britain and America, he became the best-known evangelist of his century. He founded schools at Northfield and the Chicago institute that bears his name; our library holds his Prevailing Prayer, Sovereign Grace, and other popular books.

About this book

Lectures on prayer by evangelist D. L. Moody, first published in 1884 under the fuller title Prevailing Prayer: What Hinders It? Moody asks why so many prayers go unanswered and points to hindrances such as unforgiveness, unbelief, and neglected obedience. Plain-spoken and anecdotal, it reflects the practical urgency of his evangelistic preaching in America and Britain.
