How do I even tell you about this book? There's too much to say. It is so rich with encouragement and challenge to develop a closeness with the Father. Author Paul Tripp states that this book makes you want to pray. It absolutely does!!
His honesty and transparency drew me in, making this an easy book to read. I found it hard to put down at times because I wanted to soak it all in.
When I closed the book I began to weep. The tears seemingly came out of nowhere, but I was so overwhelmed by a desire to have a life of prayer like Paul Miller describes that I couldn't stop the emotion from spilling out. I'm tired of living so shallow. I want a closer relationship with God, one in which I can see Jesus taking my hand and walking me directly to the throne with Him; I come to Him as a child with every need, every want, to learn to listen to Him, to receive His wisdom, to have hope in Him, and see Him move in me and in others.
My heart is full upon reading A Praying Life. If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, I would.

The best book I've ever read on prayer, and the most soul-searching book I've read in quite a while.
Paul Miller writes from much personal experience, and biblical depth about a life of prayer, and his encouragement has helped me not only in my prayer life, but in my whole Christian walk. I am already giving away this book to friends and relatives. Very highly recommended!!
