The Secret Key to Heaven
In this practical treatise on Matthew 6:6, Thomas Brooks makes the case that the health of a Christian's soul rises and falls with the practice of private, closet prayer. Marshalling argument after argument, he urges believers to shut the door and meet God alone, answering common objections and exposing the excuses that crowd secret prayer out of everyday life.

In Thomas Brooks's own words
“Of all devils, it is the idle devil which keeps men most out of their closets.”
“One hour's communion with God in one's closet is to be preferred before the greatest and best company in the world.”
“Time spent in heavenly employments is no time lost from worldly business.”
