So, for the majority of the book Miller deals not with the mechanics of prayer, but the underlying wrong attitudes behind our prayerlessness. He encourages us to stop trying to “fix” our prayers and simply come, messy and unpolished, and ask. Miller does not skirt the tough questions, and he shares from a wealth of experience. This book will leave you with an urgency and desire towards prayer.

Here’s one of my favorite quotes from the book: “Strong Christians do pray more, but they pray more because they realize how weak they are. They don’t try to hide it from themselves. Weakness is the channel that allows them to access grace.” (pg 56)]]>
