About This Book

The work presents a sustained devotional and practical exploration of prayer, defining supplication, intercession, and communion with God, and arguing that prayer is both a privilege and a necessary discipline. It draws on Scripture and the life of Jesus as teacher and exemplar, examines notable prayer incidents including the model and sacerdotal prayers and Gethsemane, and emphasizes persistence, dependence on the Holy Spirit, and prayer's role in worship, ministry, and spiritual power. Chapters combine theological reflection, biblical exposition, and pastoral exhortation.
