J.C. Ryle’s tract Do You Pray? is a stirring and personal appeal that challenges readers to examine the reality and sincerity of their prayer lives. Written in Ryle’s trademark direct and pastoral style, the tract distinguishes between merely saying prayers and truly communing with God from the heart. With urgency and compassion, Ryle argues that private prayer is essential to genuine Christian faith and spiritual life, warning against the deadly danger of a prayerless soul. Ideal for both seekers and professing believers, Do You Pray? invites every reader to consider whether they have truly begun a living relationship with God through Christ—and if so, whether prayer is a daily expression of that relationship.
