The Good Book of Prayer: Biblical Guidelines for an Effective Prayer Life

The Good Book" is a term that people have frequently used to refer to the Holy Bible. This phrase differentiates the Bible from other religious texts. The first section of The Good Book of Prayer captures biblical references that describe five specific purposes of prayer. In the second section, these purposes are then identified in the prayers of numerous familiar people in the Bible. A "Think About It" section following each chapter allows the reader time to meditate and find personal truths from the text.
