A wise and inspiring book offering a vision of how to seek God in prayer on a daily basis.
Description from St Donard's Community Church, Dundrum:
Tim Keller is an excellent writer and so too is this book on prayer. A longer, deeper read than others but worth it.
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.

On the whole, it is hard to think of a more clear, concise, and pastoral writer than Keller. Certainly John Piper is in the mix, but Keller’s ability to communicate through his writing is hard to match. Certainly he and Piper both share a unique ability to make the insights of theologians past seemed accessible and fresh as the latest Christian living title.... continue reading
