I’ve heard good things about this book and finally got around to reading it. Wow! I’m grateful to have read this and I know I will be back to it again. Miller’s honesty and practical examples unpack the Biblical teaching in such a powerful way. Probably the clearest and most “real life” writing on prayer I’ve ever read.

This book is exceptional. Life changing. Can not recommend enough! If I could only recommend 1 book about Christianity outside of the Bible it would be this one (or Gentle & Lowly).

Prayer is laid out so simply and stunningly that it’s mind blowing. It doesn’t over complicate or over explain or go legalistic. It has helped me to finally feel freedom and confidence and consistency in my prayer life which is exactly how the Lord always intended it be. Full of scripture, none of it is opinion and also full of humility in how Miller lives out prayer for himself and his family.

I just loved it!!! Go read it right now!!!! Im gonna read this one again!!

The author makes prayer practical. He applies it to everyday real life struggle. He talks about our disconnect in really believing it will do any good and where our culture has left us in our beliefs on prayer. He talks about taking on a childlike approach to prayer. He shows us how God is always at work in our lives and through our prayers we can see that work. He shares personal stories and specific examples and tips to a deeper richer prayer life. I feel like I finally know how to start a "prayer journal". I highly recommend this book.
