Item description from seller

A devotional and biographical book on prayer by Reginald E. O. White, a respected Baptist pastor, author, and Bible scholar. The book uses a unique ?A to Z? (biographical ABC) format. For each letter of the alphabet, White presents a short profile of a notable Christian figure (from church history or more recent times) and highlights a key lesson or emphasis from that person?s prayer life.This first edition is bound in two toned black cloth, (also on the spine) and a light clay blue paper with a logo of the publisher on the cover at the foot. Dust jacket is illustrated with hands positioned for prayer in white with white and dark orange lettering against a clay blue background. PROVENANCE: This book is from the library of Calvin Thielman, pastor for over thirty years to Billy Graham and his family. Both his handwritten name and date of 1958 and his personal library stamp are present on the front flyleaf. CONDITION: Book is VG with moderate external wear and discoloration sections and a couple of pen marks. Light discoloration within endpapers. Unmarked except for previous owner markings as described. Leaves have lightly toned. Dust jacket is good with fading, discoloration and wear, particularly along the extremities. Even still, this is a solid, special reading copy. Full refund if not satisfied.

Store description

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley.
