'"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.
Legendary preacher, author and scholar G. Campbell Morgan teaches
the reader the methods, mindset and theology of prayer, that
readers may become closer to God. The Practice of Prayer is a
superb handbook for Christians wishing to make the most of their
time at prayer, and to use prayer as a vehicle through which to get
closer to God. The chapters of this book consider the practice of
prayer through a theological lens; examining scripture, Morgan
reaches informed conclusions to as how we should pray. Principally,
Morgan identifies Jesus Christ as a figure of importance in
developing prayer as a tradition. The instructions Jesus dispensed
are filled with depth and meaning, and it is this that Morgan
efforts to explain for readers. Additionally, Morgan draws upon
additional books of the New Testament, such as Thessalonians, to
properly express and imbue his points and instructions.
