It includes the writings of R. A. Torrey, Charles Spurgeon, E. M. Bounds, George Müller, Andrew Murray, Charles Finney, and D. L. Moody.

These select excerpts from their works cover a range of topics, including why prayer is important, prayer and devotion, prayer that motivates God, praying for loved ones, the example of Jesus, praying in Jesus's name, the results of prayer, the problems of prayer, the role of thanksgiving, proper petitioning prayer, and the condition of prevailing prayer.
