Prayer: A Holy Occupation (OSWALD CHAMBERS LIBRARY) - Hardcover

Prayer is work, says Oswald Chambers. This may seem like a startling statement. But prayer is an act of the will, he says, an act of obedience—a holy occupation.

Oswald Chambers’ writings are filled with thoughts on prayer because his life was filled with prayer. And his chief objective in prayer was to know Jesus, to learn His will, and to align himself with it. Prayer: A Holy Occupation is a treasury of insights about this vital spiritual discipline. It is filled with inspirational quotations on prayer from the works of Oswald Chambers, the world’s most beloved devotional writer. Each page features two quotations along with several questions for your own personal reflection.

As Chambers inspires and challenges you with his simple and direct biblical wisdom, you will find yourself wanting to spend more time communicating with God.

Oswald Chambers (1874–1917) is best known for the classic devotional My Utmost for His Highest. Born in Scotland, Chambers had a teaching and preaching ministry that took him as far as the United States and Japan. He died at age forty-three while serving as chaplain to British Commonwealth troops in Egypt during World War I.
