Synopsis

This book examines the history of praying practice in Christianity and argues that prayer is a core practice in the spiritual life. Through historical documents and theological exploration, the author reveals methods for developing habits of prayer and explains how prayer shapes the Christian's relationship with God. The book analyzes three kinds of prayer--adoration, confession, and petition--within their historical context, and discusses the connection between prayer and watchfulness as examined in Eph. 6:18-20. The author explores the concept of the Holy Spirit as a key aid to prayer, a concept he argues is underappreciated today. The book ends by examining the reasons why people give up praying and includes advice on how to persevere.
