[Bradley Mumme · Rating 3 out of 5]

Took awhile to get through because you want to make sure you process through every concept outlined. I learned a lot about prayer and gained practical disciplines to continue learning. I love the concept that your life is about attending the school of prayer. More of a textbook than a book you want to just pick up and read.

At only 154 pages and 23 usually short chapters, this book covers all aspects of prayer in a very practical style that can be easily read in short sittings. Very helpful.

This is a very practical book on prayer. I have read it several times and still find it inspires me to pray more diligently.

[A. Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This little book is scripturally-based and referenced, and though it is small it contains more than appears to have. 3rd time reading it. It seems to me that a few of his interpretations on prayer (albeit very few)I think he covered better in his book on the Holy Spirit (esp re the centrality of sovreignty of God), still I recommend this book.
[For example, regarding praying with a spouse (as per Peter), I am not sure he covered sufficiently. It left a lot of questions for the reader. ] Some things I liked about the book:v**I almost cheered when I read his paragraph referencing too much study about prayer and not enough actual praying.** **He helps the reader with the chronic problem of too little time to pray.** **He covers communion with God as well as other forms of prayer.**

J. Oswald Sanders gives practical how-tos and examples to follow. He covers different aspects of prayer--worship, thanksgiving, confession, intercession & petition. Then he gives us Jesus' example, praying the promises of the Word, praying God's will, praying in the Spirit, praying with persistence, and unanswered prayer. He looks at Paul, authority in prayer, prayer takes time, praying in unity with other believers. He looks at praying for those in authority, for workers, for revival.

Very practical suggestions of how to pray and who to pray like and what to pray for. Easy to read as well.
