Book excerpt: The very first mention of prayer or men praying can be found in the Holy Bible, in the Old Testament book of ""First Beginnings"" - the book of Genesis chapter 4, verse 26, which reads: ""And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD."" Jesus Christ of Nazareth - the founder of Christianity spoke one thing about prayer in the book of Luke's Gospel, chapter 18, verse 1, that ""men should pray and not give up"" when he explained a parable to His beloved disciples concerning prayer. And when the people of Israel asked Jesus Christ how they should pray, He recited a prayer to His Father in Heaven that would be used to pray by billions of people all around the world.
