Prayer

Experiencing awe and intimacy with God

A manual for the Christian life from trusted pastor and bestselling author of The Reason for God and The Prodigal God. ‘"Can’t anyone teach me how to pray ? » Millions of people today are asking the same question. There is a sense of the necessity of prayer - we have to pray. But how ?’ Prayer is central to Christian faith ; indeed, as Timothy Keller notes in his introduction, it is the main way we experience deep change. Yet so many people struggle with prayer - a struggle that the author himself has shared. This wise and inspiring book is the fruit of those struggles, offering a real and glorious vision of what it can mean to seek God in prayer. Keller begins by giving a theological underpinning of what prayer actually is - both conversation and encounter with a personal God - before describing how we can learn to pray, and then deepen that prayer. Finally he gives detailed, practical suggestions on how to make prayer a part of the reality of daily life.
