The Power of Faith and Prayer

Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661) was one of the greatest preachers and theologians of Scotland. He is renowned as the writer of a most remarkable series of devotional letters-a religious classic full of rich spiritual nourishment. The Power of Faith and Prayer is a discourse on Matthew 9:27-31, which records the healing of two blind men who followed Christ and called upon him. Samuel Rutherford deals masterfully with two great matters which concern Christians-faith and prayer. This extremely scarce book was published posthumously in 1713, more than fifty years after Samuel Rutherford’s death. Reformation Press first issued the book in 1993. This second edition contains extra notes to explain obscure and archaic terms, and these help to make Rutherford’s precious book accessible to present-day readers.
