Before reading this book, I really was lacking in my prayer life. I understood it was important to the life of a believer, but I just had no motivation to do it. Because of my lack of motivation, I rarely prayed for more than a minute at a time, and when I did, I felt like nothing ever seemed to happen, nothing that I could see anyway.
In light of all that, I could truly say that this book changed my whole outlook on prayer. After reading just the first chapter, I finally understood why prayer is so important and what happens when we pray. This lit a fire in me for prayer that still hasn’t gone out, and I’m hopeful that anyone else who reads this book would receive the same thing.
As far as the content of the book, it’s packed tight with information on why we should pray, the power of prayer, the authority we have when we pray, many different kinds of prayer, what happens when we pray, and most importantly, how God works in and through our prayers! Along with all that, it has stories and examples to help you better understand what’s being presented, while at the same time keeping you so enthralled in the book that you don’t even want to put it down. It’s written extremely well, there’s humor added, it’s just all around a good thing.
All that being said, I would just like to say that I would gladly recommend this book to anyone who would like to have a better prayer life. So go! Find a copy right now! Buy it. Read it. Love it!
