This was a fairly good book that did what I hoped a book on prayer would do: it challenged me in multiple sections about how I should be praying better, and also has hopefully led to more thoughtful prayers on my part. His points on the importance of praying for our nation and world at large, on the danger of repetitious mealtime prayers, on the importance of repentance and forgiveness, and on the necessity of praying for each other individually and specifically were all points well-taken that I will endeavor to apply to my own life. Some parts of the book were weaker than others; while he did espouse a nuanced understanding of what "God's will" means, he was kind of vague in some sections on what facet of God's will he was talking about. In addition, I found the latter half of the book less helpful on the first half, but that could also just be that I was more attentive and focused when reading the first half.

Overall, this was a helpful book on prayer that I got a fair bit out of and was glad to have read.

Rating: 3.5-4 Stars (Good).

Broke down the Lord’s Prayer throughout book. Jesus gave us a standard to pray not to become a repetitious prayer.unceasing prayer doesn’t mean nonstop talking but constant awareness of God’s presence, constant communion. Real benefit of prayer is not coming he changes He makes in your circumstances but the changes He makes in your heart. I liked short story at end of chapter 9 summarizing the Lord’s Prayer.
