About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of An Humble Attempt to Promote Explicit Agreement and Visible Union of God's People in Extraordinary Prayer, . . . by Jonathan Edwards. Read in English by Debra Bridgford. Not only does this powerful little piece of writing contain within its pages the timely exhortation to Christians to pray at just such a time as this for our Lord's kingdom to come (as relevant today as it was in 1747), but we're also given a good dose of eschatology and a taste of history to boot--almost forgotten knowledge, if you will. A refreshing, eye-opening, inspirational piece of work. (FYI: "extraordinary prayer" can be defined as "prayer with special purpose," and a "concert of prayer" is an agreement of two or more in a prayer plan.) - Summary by Debra Bridgford
