Agreed. The most helpful books for me in prayer so far have all been puritan. I love that I now have something modern, solid and practical to give to our people.

Miller’s book has been rocking me. A weak prayer life has always been one of my greatest weaknesses. The section that addresses cynicism was just what I needed to hear. There is also a part in the middle of the book that has some profound insights into prayer in marriage. Love it!

I think sometimes we seek out an experience or feeling in order to validate the reality of our prayers. We convince ourselves that we need something tangible to point to in order to find reassurance that our prayers are heard and our time was authentic. I know that I have been guilty of this. It is a lack of faith in an area that I find difficult (and yet extremely edifying when I commit myself to it consistently). I’ve been wanting to pick up this book since it came out. Thanks for reminding me why.

I was struck by the same quotes, Joe. THis is one of the most down to earth, helpful, gospel-centered books on prayer I’ve read!

I’ve been unable to get away from the quotes all day. I’m going to look for this book. Thanks.
