Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Praying Clear Through
Will J. Harney · 2019
71/100
👍 Worth It
A book that has stayed in print for over a century earns some deference — Harney's central argument that believers rush prayer and miss the deeper work of pressing through is genuinely countercultural and worth sitting with. The early 20th-century writing style will slow some modern readers, and it's more a motivational call than a practical how-to, but the Whitaker House reprint makes it accessible and it remains a genuine classic in Wesleyan Holiness circles.
