Synopsis

Discover a practical, uplifting guide to prayer, fasting, and giving that helps you grow closer to God every day.

This edition distills Ernest Holmes’s thoughtful approach to prayer and the disciplined life, showing how prayer moves the will of God by aligning our actions with the divine order. It frames three notable duties—prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—as interwoven practices that deepen surrender, discipline, and generosity. You’ll find clear explanations, enduring ideas, and relatable illustrations that invite steady, hopeful practice.

• Learn how prayer can move rather than change God’s fixed purpose, and how devotion and praise fit into daily life.
• Explore the uses of praise, adoration, thanksgiving, and worship as parts of a balanced prayer life.
• See how fasting and self-control support a freer, more powerful spiritual walk.
• Understand how almsgiving can express real repentance and repair, even when restitution isn’t fully possible.

Ideal for readers seeking a thoughtful, steady path to deeper prayer and practical spirituality that fits into daily life. This edition is a solid companion for Lent, personal devotion, or study groups exploring how to live the three duties with patience, hope, and generosity.
