The Intimate Touch of Prayer

by Truman G. Madsen

The idea of speaking to God is astounding. The thought that he will answer is profoundly humbling. Drawing from the life experiences of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Truman G. Madsen teaches how we can make prayer an intimate experience, conversing with God as one man converses with another. He talks of such things as prayer language, the length of prayers, family prayer, vocal prayer, prayer in times of adversity, and the importance of listening for answers. As always, Truman Madsen’s presentation is thought-provoking and filled with vivid examples that illustrate his Communion with God is possible through the intimate touch of prayer.
