John Wesley was a powerful leader in the Evangelical Revival of eighteenth-century England. He traveled across the land preaching the doctrine of justification by faith, facing unruly mobs, and nurturing a network of small groups of committed Christians called Methodists. In the face of all distractions and temptations, he found there was ""no remedy"" to preserve his relationship with God ""but continual prayer."" Mark Murphree surveys Wesley's sermons, journals and diaries, and voluminous correspondence to articulate Wesley's underlying theology of prayer and outline how that theology was expressed in practice in the varied circumstances of Wesley's life and ministry.

Reviews for ""No Remedy But Continual Prayer"": John Wesley's Theology and Practice of Prayer

""Mark Murphree's work is an important discipleship/spiritual formation resource for the global church. His distillation of John Wesley's insights and practices on prayer will serve as an important guide for all who take prayer seriously as a core practice in knowing the Triune God and being part of the mission of God. The reader is challenged to move from professed belief in the power of prayer to personal and corporate engagement with God and the spiritual challenges of their context. Murphree's work is particularly provocative for Western Christians--and their leaders--who often substitute human effort and techniques for deeply humble and powerful intercession and supplication. I will be recommending this work to all the pastors and seminary students I serve."" --Charles E. Self, Visiting Professor, The Assemblies of God Theological Seminary
