Problems In The Prayer Life by J. Oliver Buswell, Jr - 1928: From A Pastor's Question Box

This easy-to-read small book will revolutionize your prayer life! In this small 127-page volume on prayer, Buswell notes that there are Scriptural examples of prayer being directed to Jesus Christ, not merely to God the Father. (p. 14) The clearest is Acts 7:59 – "While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." One reviewer writes: 'I particularly like Buswell's quote: "My testimony as a pastor, and as an army chaplain, is that, though one may be saved in the last moment of his life, men usually die as they have lived" (p. 38). And this one, "We are to have faith in Him, not faith in faith! Faith in our own faith accomplishes nothing but our own undoing. Faith in God saves" (p. 62). Buswell also challenges the reader (in multiple places) to keep track of their petitions to God so that they can see later how He has granted them. And he has a section on "intercession" – the praying for others, which is a topic I have not specifically read about elsewhere that I can recall."

This book came out in 1928, just two years into J. Oliver Buswell Jr.'s tenure as President of Wheaton College (1926 – 1940). It is, in fact, Buswell's first book; written before he joined up with J. Gresham Machen's reforming movement in the Presbyterian Church before he was a founding member of the Bible Presbyterian Church,
