The Power of Personal Prayer: Learning to Pray with Faith and Purpose

by Jonathan L. Graf

You don't have to be a super-spiritual saint to have a meaningful prayer life! God intends for every believer to have a great prayer life, but few do. Although we may pray fervently when we face a crisis, many of us find it awkward--even impossible--to have a meaningful prayer life at other times. In an easy-to-understand and encouraging manner, Jonathan Graf presents the keys to a dynamic prayer life. He teaches the foundational truths of what prayer is and how essential it is in our relationship with God. He tackles tough questions about different types of prayer and when to use them. And he offers practical tips on how to pray more effectively. Whether you are a new believer or one who has struggled with prayer for years, this book will help you grow in your prayer life. Through his knowledge of the Scriptures and his broad experience in the subject of prayer, Jonathan Graf will disciple you in the practice of prayer. He will help you experience more of God through prayer--the believer's lifeline to God's heart.

I'm reading this now...

This book was phenomenal and really helped me grow in my prayer life. I read it with my Bible study group and it was so great to see everyone’s thoughts. The margins are filled with memories quotes and notes from the start of December to the beginning of May. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is weak in prayer, like I was (and still am) but after reading this I feel more confident and much more adept at praying. 10/10 would recommend. A wonderful experience that I had with my peer and friend.

I wished the book had been longer with more examples. However, it was very well thought out and laid out in a progression of concepts about prayer that made sense.

This book is a good read to reinforce what most evangelicals should already know about prayer. A good reminder from me. No higher stars not because of quality to read but that the content was a reminder and not much I did not already learn at some point.

Great in depth book on prayer. I often found myself stopping mid paragraph to pray for something the Lord put on my heart through the text.
