The Secret Key to Heaven

'The power of religion and godliness lives, thrives, or dies, as closet prayer lives, thrives, or dies.' This was the deeply held conviction of Thomas Brooks. As a pastor who knew his people well, he feared that many Christians did not understand the 'necessity, excellency, and usefulness' of private prayer, and that many lived in 'too great a neglect of this indispensable duty.' Focusing on our Lord's words about 'closet prayer' in Matthew 6:6, Brooks supplies us with a masterful treatment of a vitally important aspect of the Christian's life. His aim is intensely practical: 'to preserve and keep up the power of religion and godliness both in men's houses, hearts, and lives.'
