PRODed this as unrefereenced & non notable: PROD removed since a ref has been added. Ref does assert that the book is notable, but I have doubts about the reliability of the source and can find little on either book or author to establish notability. TheLongTone (talk) 14:21, 15 July 2014 (UTC)


 * keep The author of the book was Albert Richardson (priest) although he wrote it anonymously. The sources for Albert Richardson (priest) includes the University of Birmingham. Richardson was a fairly prolific writer and it would be pity to delete the article on one of his more famous books.  Wayne Jayes (talk) 14:52, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I have added 10 citations to illustrate how many times the book has been reprinted reissued and included in derivative works, this must sure indicate notability. Wayne Jayes (talk) 15:41, 15 July 2014 (UTC)


 * keep This is certainly a notable book. The book has presently 96 ratings and 10 reviews on goodreads. It is available in stores all over the world. Specific Google Search of the title returns 321 results on 33 pages. Solatido (talk) 16:37, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep given the Internet Archive's introduction (now cited in the article) that "The Kneeling Christian is considered to be the most widely-read book on the topic of prayer." – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:19, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep -- The fact that a number of publishers have kept the book in print over a period of nearly 50 years suggests that it is notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:56, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
