For the life of me I can't figure out this latest version of LCD. The moderators constantly remind posters to stay on topic and respect the OP's thread, and then when I do exactly that, you don't seem very happy about it.

I don't see how we can get anywhere by comparing Andrew Murray or any of the others because what they have written is biblical and what is taught and practiced in the Local Church is not biblical. -

Well ... the answer to your questions is quite simple. Use that book to expose what the Recovery calls "pray-reading" is
not what they claim it to be. That book by Graver was a compilation of many well respected men of God throughout church history. The Recovery uses it as justification for their aberrant meeting practices.
Here's the first point of refutation: No place in the book, or in church history for that matter, is the Recovery practice of public "pray-reading" of meeting handouts endorsed.
Here's another: the phrase "pray-reading," to the best of my knowledge, is never mentioned in the book. It is a Recovery invention, with no support in church history.
Even Graver's sub-title says: "
... the Intimate and Vital Relationship between God's Word and Prayer." All Christians would agree with that, eh?
